OUR TALENT:

JEMS!!!!!!  Jamie Oshima, Ed Howe, Matt Kenney, and Stuart Kenney will bring down the house tonight.

Add Sound of Perfection fine-tuning for our ear's delights and our experience will be just that: perfect.

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 Sonja Birthisel, an almost brand-spankin' new caller from the Bangor area will teach the other half of the night. 

Dugan will also be sharing the mic with first-time caller Krysten Raymond, who will try her first time calling a dance this evening!

This is going to be an excellent night.

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!
