OUR TALENT:

Henry Road Band is John Pranio, Jamie Oshima and Glen Loper. Holy shit, you do not want to miss them.

Dugan Murphy, Contra Dance Caller, is the acclaimed caller who brought you neon t-shirts, raucous pants, and hundreds of fun dance experiences across the U.S. He'll be teaching half the night, and excitedly introducing Jeannine Ameduri, a newer caller who will teach the other half of the night.

Last, Gawain Thomas, a talented musician and new caller from Massachusetts, will be calling a few dances during our evening.

AND AFTER:

Join us from 10 p.m. 'til close for snacks and drinks just down the street at Local 188 (just West of Longfellow Square). They've created a new tapas menu just for us, and will offer PICD dancers a discount on drinks and grub. Sweet, ain't they? All ages welcome!
