Our season finale promises to be great dancing and wonderful music.
Sue Dupre's energy, and extensive calling and dance experience are sure to bring you a dynamic and pleasing afternoon of dance.
Joyce Crouch (piano) and Eric Martin (violin and viola) will bring us a terrific afternoon of music. Joyce is a regular pianist in Amherst MA, a member of Pleasures of the Town and is sought after for special English CD programs. Eric is back by request; we love his rich sound, energetic music and skillful improvisation.
