name = "Socialles 262 — American Contradance"
details = """
Deze donderdag 13 april is het socialles nr 262. Docent deze week is Isobel. Zij maakt met ons een uitstapje net buiten de balfolk, naar de Amerikaanse contradansen. Veel gelijkenissen met balfolk, maar toch net even anders. Benieuwd? Aansluiten kan!

Programma
18.30 Gezamenlijk koken en eten
19.30: Start socialles
20.30: Einde socialles, begin vrij dansen
21.30: Einde

Socialles
Het concept van een socialles is dat er het eerste uur een les of workshop wordt gegeven door een enthousiaste danser of docent over een specifieke dans of thema en dat in de 1,5 uur daarna de tijd is om vrij te dansen op cdmuziek. Uiteraard is er ook volop gelegenheid om te socialisen tijdens het deel vrij dansen.

Gezamenlijk eten
Vooraf mee-eten is ook mogelijk. Vanaf 18.30 uur ben je welkom in de keuken van De Banier, waarop er een warme maaltijd gekookt en gegeten wordt tot om 19.30 uur de socialles begint. Meehelpen met koken mag en kan natuurlijk. Mee-eten kost 3 euro per persoon, per keer, cash te betalen. Vooraf doorgeven dat je mee-eet is wel handig, dat kan het beste via balfolkzuidholland@gmail.com, tot uiterlijk woensdag 17.00 uur. Geef dan ook direct allergieën of intoleranties door, dan houden we daar rekening mee.

Locatie
Je kunt ons vinden bij De Banier, gevestigd op Banierstraat 1, in Rotterdam. Deze locatie is op ongeveer tien minuten lopen vanaf Centraal Station Rotterdam. Parkeren in de directe omgeving is betaald tot 23.00 uur ‘s avonds. Verderop in de wijk is het wel gratis, dan moet je dus wel een stukje lopen. Check prettigparkeren.nl voor de mogelijkheden.

Zaalregels
In de danszaal mogen geen buitenschoenen, zorg dus dat je schoenen bij je hebt die niet buiten worden gedragen zoals dansschoenen of dans op blote voeten of op sokken. Eten in de danszaal is ook niet toegestaan.

Prijs
De sociallessen kosten 6 euro per persoon. Dit kan cash betaald worden aan de deur. Er is eveneens de mogelijkheid om een strippenkaart aan te schaffen: dat zijn 5 strippen voor 30 euro, op elke socialles te besteden. Dat scheelt je wekelijks geld meenemen. Pinnen is niet mogelijk."""

Caller: Billy Fischer! Billy has been calling dances for over thirty years, starting out in New Haven, Connecticut with the contra dance series that has been a fixture of the folk music and dance scene since 1976. In addition to contra dances in and around the northeast, he has called at various dance camps regionally and nationally. This will be quite a treat!
Live Music: Dead Sea Squirrels are Cathy Mason on fiddle and mandolin; Craig Edwards on fiddle, banjo, mandolin, and vocals; and Henry Yoshimura on guitar and vocals.
Admission: (your choice) $10 – $12 p.p., $6 – $8 students, families $25. Donations are gratefully appreciated!
Food! Donations of snacks for the break are wanted and gleefully appreciated!
Clothing & Footwear: Clothing is casual. Please wear non-street shoes that move easily on the floor (rubber-soled sneakers are discouraged, but some do wear them even though it makes dancing harder).
Parking: There is plenty of parking behind the church by driving up State Street or up Gertrude Street.

With inspiration ranging from traditional fiddle tunes to pop and various international styles, they transport their audience with their exciting, unique sound! They are: A.Z.

Caller: Don Veino from Massachusetts. Don says he loves to create opportunities for dancers to have fun, no matter the group size.
Homemade pie slices! This month we offer a medley of all kinds of fall pies! These delicious pie slices are offered at the break for $3/slice to help support the band and caller.
Role terms: “Ladies & Gents” (or Women & Men) but dancers are welcome to choose whatever works best for each dancer.
Clothing & footwear: Clothing is casual; layers are best for this invigorating exercise. Please wear non-street shoes that move easily on the floor (rubber-soled sneakers are discouraged, but some do wear them even though it makes dancing harder)."""

Hayward is centrally located and the venue, The Hill and Valley Club, 1808 ‘B’ Street, Hayward, CA, is easy to reach by BART or car. 
As a weekend dance, we have attracted dancers with busy work schedules. 
Meeting in the afternoon from 4-7pm, dancers coming from greater distances were able to manage the travel time both before and after the dances. 
Our venue, the Hill and Valley Club, is one of the airiest dance halls in the bay area.

Hayward is centrally located and the venue, The Hill and Valley Club, 1808 ‘B’ Street, Hayward, CA, is easy to reach by BART or car. 
As a weekend dance, we have attracted dancers with busy work schedules. 
Meeting in the afternoon from 4-7pm, dancers coming from greater distances were able to manage the travel time both before and after the dances. 
Our venue, the Hill and Valley Club, is one of the airiest dance halls in the bay area.

This is the most fun you can have with your clothes on! We dance to the fiddle tunes of Ireland, Scotland, England, France, and Appalachia and we often switch partners after every dance so there is no need to bring a partner, and no experience is needed to have a fantastic time!
Caller: Tod Whittemore from Connecticut, Tod has been calling dances for forty years, having been lucky enough to begin his career at the time when famous callers Ralph Page and Duke Miller were still active in the Monadnock Region. Tod has called dances all over the world, and is known for his humor, energy, and infectious love of dancing!
Live Music by Dogtown, featuring Becky Miller (fiddle), Norb Spencer (accordion), and Avi Randall (keyboards). They play a mix of New England, French Canadian, Scottish, and Quebecois dance tunes, as well as old time southern dance tunes and sung calls. They are a highly desired band to play at contra dances!
Admission: $10 adults, $7 students. Donations gratefully accepted!
Homemade pie slices! This month we offer pumpkin pie and other kinds of fall pies! These delicious pie slices are offered at the break for $3/slice to help support the band and caller.
Role Terms are “Ladies & Gents” (or Women & Men), but dancers are welcome to choose whatever role their heart desires.
Clothing & Footwear: Clothing is casual; layers are best for this invigorating exercise. Please wear non-street shoes that move easily on the floor (rubber-soled sneakers are discouraged, but some do wear them even though it makes dancing harder).

We typically dance on the 2nd & 4th Sunday of each month. 
For years, the Hayward Contra has drawn dancers from all over the Bay Area and beyond. 
Some of the unique features that have drawn a loyal following are: 
Hayward is centrally located and the venue, The Hill and Valley Club, 1808 ‘B’ Street, Hayward, CA, is easy to reach by BART or car. 
As a weekend dance, we have attracted dancers with busy work schedules. 
Meeting in the afternoon from 4-7pm, dancers coming from greater distances were able to manage the travel time both before and after the dances. 
Our venue, the Hill and Valley Club, is one of the airiest dance halls in the bay area. 
These features have allowed us to attract a very diverse multigenerational crowd that is comfortable with our gender-neutral atmosphere. 
Details at our website. 
We also have a Facebook group."""

New Time: Dance 7:30-10:30pm [basics session 7:15 pm]
This is so wicked fun! We dance to the fiddle tunes of Ireland, Scotland, England, France, and Appalachia and we often switch partners after every dance so there is no need to bring a partner, and no experience is needed to have a fantastic time! So come enjoy the friendly camaraderie, dance to live music and see everyone’s smiling faces!
Clothing & Footwear: Clothing is casual, layers are best for this invigorating exercise. Please wear non-street shoes that move easily on the floor (rubber-soled sneakers are discouraged).
Food: Some snacks offered at the break and contributions are welcome and needed!
Caller: Billy Fischer. Bill, a well-respected square and contra dance caller, has been calling dances for over thirty years, starting out in New Haven, Connecticut with the contra dance series that has been a fixture of the folk music and dance scene since 1976. In addition to contra dances in and around the northeast, he has called at various dance camps regionally and nationally.
Much of his calling activity centers on special occasion “barn” dances including the monthly musical event BMAD at his home in Bethany, CT. Other such events include school dances, private parties, special occasions such as weddings, birthdays and anniversaries, and dances in extended care facilities where he has done dances for people using wheel-chairs and walkers.
Live Music: Headwaters is made up of Jim and Willow Sirch and Gary Wikfors playing their Swedish nykelharpas, five-string fiddle, Irish blackwood flute, octave mandola, bodhran and banjo. You no doubt know them as members of the venerable New Haven-based band The Fiddleheads that has been playing for New England contra dances for thirty years.
Admission: $13.00 per person OR, Students (with ID, please) pay $6. Donations are greatly appreciated and encouraged!
Free Parking: There is plenty of free parking right in front of the hall.
Role Terms: “Ladies & Gents” but all dancers are welcome to dance whichever role their heart desires."""

Dancing is to live fiddle tunes of Ireland, Scotland, England, France, and Appalachia! We often switch partners after every dance so there is no need to bring a partner, and no experience is needed to have a fantastic time!
Live music by Truffle Creek from Boston. They are Lillian Chase on the fiddle, Jonah Spear on guitar and foot percussion, and Cecily Mills on the cello. They draw heavily from the old time genre for their tune selections, but certainly don’t limit themselves to a singular tradition for repertoire selection. Together these three bring creativity, variety, tradition, and joy to any room they find themselves making music in.
Caller: Paul Wilde from Rhode Island.
Admission (your choice): $10 – $12 p.p., $6 – $8 students, families $25. Donations are gratefully appreciated!
Parking: There is plenty of parking behind the church. Drive up State Street, take a left behind the church, and walk down Gertrude Street to enter the hall.

As a weekend dance, we have attracted dancers with busy work schedules.

Yes, we have a new name! The Mystic Pie Dance!

This is so wicked fun! It is the most fun you can have with your clothes on! We dance to live music—the fiddle tunes of Ireland, Scotland, England, France, Appalachia, and America. We often switch partners after every dance, so there is no need to bring a partner, and no experience is needed to have a fantastic time!
Live Music by The Dead Sea Squirrels. Don’t be fooled by the unlikely name—you’re gonna love dancing to Cathy Mason on fiddle; Craig Edwards on fiddle, banjo, and mandolin (but not all at the same time!); and Henry Yoshimura on guitar. They play widely for contra dances and are known for their danceable tunes arranged in medleys designed to closely match and enhance the movements of the particular contra dance being taught/called. They tend to push the boundaries of the southern style with fiddle and fiddle/guitar harmonies!
Caller: Paul Wilde from RI. Paul was a schoolteacher for 16 years and said that his classroom experience helped him to develop his calling skills on the dance floor.
Admission: $10 adults, $7 students. Donations gratefully accepted!
Homemade Pie Slices! This month we offer pumpkin pie and other kinds of fall pies! These delicious pie slices are offered at the break for $3/slice to help support the band and caller.
Role Terms are: “Ladies & Gents” (or Women & Men) but dancers are welcome to choose whatever role their heart desires.
Clothing & Footwear: Clothing is casual, layers are best for this invigorating exercise. Please wear non-street shoes that move easily on the floor (rubber-soled sneaker are discouraged but some do wear them even though it makes dancing harder).

As a weekend dance, we have attracted dancers with busy work schedules. 
Meeting in the afternoon from 4-7pm, dancers coming from greater distances were able to manage the travel time both before and after the dances.

The Atchisons 
Melissa and Bob Atchison have been playing for barn dances since the early 1980s. Their music has been influenced by old-time Missouri fiddlers, and music of the Ozarks. They love playing for dances because of the joy the dancers experience. As a duo of just guitar and fiddle they bring a surprising amount of energy and fun to Lawrence Barn dances. 
Jill Allen 
Soon after receiving a B.E. in Dance Performance at the University of Kansas, Jill Allen came upon her first local country dance in the early 1980’s, unaware of how deeply it would change her life. It was love at first step and she never looked back. Her tap dancing became clogging and soon she learned to call for dances, with a hunger to teach every style she learned. With experience in dance education, Jill was a natural boss on the dance floor. Jill also organized dances for many years, and played piano for dances with the band “Fox on the Run” for 15 years. 
Her calling has been described as fun, easy to follow, and musical, with no time wasted getting a group of all ages and abilities up and dancing to the music. She is full-service caller with over thirty years of experience, well versed in Contras, Squares, English Country, Family Dances, Clogging, and couple dances."""

Community Shindig: In the tradition of New England’s earliest settlers, The Groton Grange and Contra Banditos invite you to a New England Contra Dance to celebrate the traditions of the Grange Hall. No partner or experience necessary!
This is so wicked fun! It is the most fun you can have with your clothes on!
Live Music by: The Contra Banditos. The Banditos were formed in the late 1980s when original band member Dan Fassett and two of his students decided to practice their craft at a contra dance in the First Parish Church in Groton, MA. Those practice sessions evolved into the formation of the band. From a handful of fiddle members, we have grown into a band with typically eight members who play fiddle, banjo, guitar, piano, mandolin, whistle, bass and percussion.
Caller: Don Heinold. Hailing from Rhode Island, Don has been calling at dances, weddings, and parties all over New England for over 14 years. Don is also known for teaching the Rotary (country) Waltz.
Admission: $5 suggested donation per person. Contributions are greatly appreciated!
Parking: on-street. Please be careful.
Clothing & Footwear: Clothing is casual. Please wear shoes that move easily on the floor (rubber-soled sneakers are discouraged, but some do wear them even though it makes dancing harder).
Role Terms are: “Women & Men,” but dancers are welcome to choose whatever role that works for them. with no worries."""

As a weekend dance, we have attracted dancers with busy work schedules.
