Our caller Alyssa Adkins:
Alyssa (Lyss) Adkins is a Maine-based caller, folk waltz and fusion teacher. Dancers consistently describe their teaching and calling as clear, joyful, and energetic. They stay precise and concise in their communication so everyone can more fully enjoy the dance, the music, and each other.
Our Band Gus LaCasse (fiddle) and Pepin Mittlehauser (guitar): Gus and Pepin are two fabulous musicians from Maine- they are an energetic and joyful duo who provide a wave of music that literally draws the dancers onto the dance floor.
Time: 7-10 PM with a beginner lesson at 6:30
General Admission: $15- $20 / students $8-$12
