BIDA Chestnuts Calling Workshop: Tuesday, August 9, 2011

with David Millstone

David Millstone will be conducting a special Chestnuts Calling Workshop for callers interested in learning how to call these wonderful dances!


What's a "Chestnut?" A "Chestnut" is a traditional contra dance, typically associated with a particular tune.


Callers: David has requested that all callers choose at least one dance prior to the workshop that you'd like to learn to call. Please contact Sally Bown asap for the list: dancinlibrarian@gmail.com


Musicians: Are you a musician who would like to learn more about Chestnut tunes? Come and join us, too!


Dancers: While this is a workshop and not a dance, we still need dancers. If you've ever danced Chestnuts, you know how much fun they are! If you haven't, come and see what they're all about. It's a great chance to support your fellow callers and musicians in this learning experience.


Fee: Sliding scale fee of $5-$10 for all attendees.


David brings a lot of experience and a deep enthusiasm for Chestnuts! This is an opportunity not to be missed!


Location: Clark Baker's House, 426 March St, Belmont MA
