The Clark public programs calendar is also bursting with a busy line-up of lectures, tours, concerts, films, and more.

Our caller Julian Blechner will teach all the dances.  He brings a cheerful, friendly attitude with clear, concise teaching and prompting. For optional extra fun, come to our pre-dance calling workshop/practicum in the Williamstown Public Library, 2 – 3:30. Bring a dance you’d like to workshop in a friendly group setting – or simply help out as a biddable dancer on the floor.

Music will be provided by George Wilson and Selma Kaplan. George’s dynamic fiddling, strongly influenced by Cape Breton and French Canadian styles, has been popular with contra dancers and concert-goers since the late 1970s. Selma is an accomplished pianist, composer, and arranger, and one of the most requested dance musicians on the East Coast.
