Six callers, four bands, three hours of non-stop dancing
The callers and bands will rotate on stage. Dancers will keep dancing. Big kudos to our sound crew, Adam Bodine and Ian Brehm. 
You and your partner may join anytime at the bottom of the line. 
You and your partner may drop out anytime at the top or bottom of the line to hydrate, rest, socialize and find a new partner. 
This dance is not for beginners. There is no lesson and no teaching. We expect dancers will know heys, right-and-left through, petronella turns, pass through to a wave, rory-o-more balances and contra corners. Come to the Thursday Contra during March where the callers will teach all the figures you need to know."""

Mae Wilson with Hijinks  
Mae Wilson (she/they) is a caller and English dance teacher currently based in Ann Arbor, MI. Mae has danced and called across the country and across the Pond. She loves the textures of English dance and music; the sublime combination of movement and sound; and sharing magic moments on the dance floor. 
Hijinks’ musical merrymaking ranges from lush sweetness to boisterous fun as they weave lines created by Miranda Weinberg (violin), Kathy Talvitie (piano), and Carrie Rose (flute, alto flute, and piccolo).
