OUR TALENT:

Tonight: Massachusetts comes to us! Angela DeCarlis will be our caller for the evening! She'll be joined by Chimney Swift, a new contra band founded by the cello of Cecile Leroy and the accordion of Zoe Madonna.  They'll be joined by Daniel Ley. You might recognize any of these fine folks from a Boston Intergenerational Dance Advocates (BIDA) dance or from Zoe's sweetheart accordion waltz sessions at Flurry.  :)

Here's a practice session preview:

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!
