Our group is particularly fond of dances from the Balkan countries (Bulgaria\, Macedonia\, former Yugoslav countries)\, Romania\, Greece Turkey\, Armenia\, Israel and many other countries. We mostly dance to recorded music\, but have live music events a few times a year. We welcome all ages and genders\, and no partner is necessary\, as most dances do not involve couples. \n\n\n\n\n1:15-2:00 / 2:00-2:45  Family Dance with Paul Rosenberg and Tamarack \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nEnjoy a tradition of community dancing and music handed down from generation to generation! Circle dances\, squares\, line dances\, international folk dances\, and play-party singing games from around the world.The toe-tapping music consists of reels\, jigs\, polkas\, hornpipes\, and waltzes. While participation in the dancing is encouraged — and it’s hard to sit still — it’s fun to just listen to the music and watch too! \n\n\n\n3:00 – 6:00  Contra Dance\, with Will Mentor calling to River Road \n\n\n\nThere will be instruction for beginners at the start of the dance\, as well as a welcoming atmosphere to learn-as-you-go! \n\n\n\n\nWill Mentor is a contra and square dance caller from Northern Vermont known for his clear teaching\, upbeat wit\, and relaxed stage presence. He loves to choreograph evenings with a variety of dances and tempos that at times surprise and always delight\, all the while keeping intact his guiding principle as a caller: “It’s about the dancers!” \n\n\n\n\n\nRiver Road delivers beauty\, power\, and groove to contra dances with a highly revered mixture of contemporary and traditional tunes with strong influences from Quebecois\, New England\, & Maritime traditions\, featuring Sarah-Hadley Yakir on fiddle\, Kristen Planeaux on piano\, flute\, and accordion\, and Jesse Ball on mandolin\, guitar\, accordion\, and foot percussion. While they are geographically divided by the Connecticut river\, an aptly named River Road connects them to create an energy that is highly sought after in the contradance scene. \n\n\n\n\n6:45 – 7:30  Performance by the Saratoga High School Fiddle Club \n\n\n\n\nThe Saratoga Springs Fiddle Club is a High School club that learns Irish\, Scottish\, and French-Canadian music by ear. All students are welcome to play\, however the majority of them play string instruments. The club is lead by Mrs. Jessica LaBello\, a talented string teacher at the High School.  \n\n\n\nThe Fiddle Club has previously played at events like the Victorian Streetwalk and the Beekman Street Arts Fair\, as well as the Flurry Festival! They are also planning to play at the McKrells Christmas Concert at The Egg in Albany and to travel abroad to Scotland next year!  \n\n\n\n\n7:45 – 8:30  Swing Lesson with David Wolf \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDavid dances all types of Social Dancing\, but mainly specializes in American Standard Ballroom and Argentine Tango. Dave has over 20 years of dance experience and has had training with some of the world’s best dancers. He is also no stranger to instruction\, for he has experience as a high school teacher as well as an instructor of college level courses. He has also trained dance instructors for over tens years. No matter where you take a class with David you are sure to enjoy every minute! David is known for his incredible sense of humor and extraordinary teaching skills. He is also filled with tons of dance history knowledge as well as strange factoids that surprise most everyone.  \n\n\n\nBesides instruction and choreography\, Dave is a DJ. He offers a one of the largest authentic collection of Argentine Tangos\, Disco\, Swing and Latin music. He has done several ballroom events and weddings as well. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n8:30 – 11:15  Swing Dance with the Giacomo Smith Quartet \n\n\n\nGiacomo Smith – clarinet and sopranoGraham Tichy – banjo Bob Kendall – bassRandy Reinhart – trombone \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSince he moved to London a decade ago from Montreal Canada\, Saratogian Giacomo Smith has earned a reputation as one of the most distinct and versatile performers in London’s vital jazz scene. Smith\, along with cofounder Jack Abraham\, founded Kansas Smitty’s in 2013 as London’s answer to the fertile communities fostered in other cities by the likes of Count Basie\, Django Reinhardt and Duke Ellington. The idea was to grow a genre-blind philosophy that embraced all eras and geographies of jazz. Two years later\, they opened their first bar on Broadway Market in London’s trendy Borough of Hackney and played host to countless world class musicians: Louis Cole\, Cory Wong\, Johnny O’Neal\, Victor Goines\, Leroy Jones\, Shingai Shoniwa\, Eliza Doolittle\, Rhys Lewis\, Reuben James\, Ben Van Gelder\, Chris Dave\, and many others.   \n\n\n\nSmith is an active soloist\, performer and educator outside his role in Kansas Smitty’s. Notable appearances include performing Artie Shaw’s Clarinet Concerto with Guy Barker as a soloist at the Royal Albert Hall\, and with Wynton Marsalis at the Barbican Centre and in New York at Jazz at Lincoln Center. Smith has led Kansas Smitty’s in performances from London’s Alexandra Palace to international venues in Brussels\, Paris\, Baltimore\, New York City and Rochester. He has been a member of Rob Brydon’s touring band for “Songs and Stories” since 2019 and I worked with Jamie Cullum as a producer and arranger on his most recent release “The Pianoman at Christmas Pt. 2”. In November 2022\, Smith premiered Guy Barker’s clarinet concerto “The Art of the Hang” at the Cadogan Hall as part of the 2022 London Jazz Festival. Smiths also recently produced albums for actor\, Damian Lewis and drummer Jas Kayser (Jorja Smith).

SUMMARY:Dance with Peter\, Paul & George
DESCRIPTION:Family and Community Dances with Peter\, Paul and George\nco-presented with \n \n\nSaturday\, Sept. 12\n3:00 pm ET Family Dance\n4:00 pm ET Community Dance \nJoin the live Zoom event\, streaming from Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs \nSuggested donation: $5/person \nThanks to everyone who attended! To offer feedback about your virtual dance experience\, send an email to dfopublicity@danceflurry.org\n \n  \n3:00 pm ET Virtual Family Dance \nCome kick up your heels to live fiddle music. Enjoy a tradition of community dancing and music handed down from generation to generation. We play music and get everyone involved – from ages 2 to 102 — especially those who have not danced before\, in easy-to-learn American favorites as well as a few international folk (Chinese\, Israeli\, French\, African\, and more) dances. We will focus on dances which can be done alone or with a partner. \nThe toe-tapping music consists of reels\, jigs\, polkas\, hornpipes\, and waltzes. Besides fiddle\, instruments in the family dance includes banjo\, mandolin\, guitar\, ukulele\, While participation in the dancing is encouraged — and it’s hard to sit still — it’s fun to just listen to the music and watch too! \nThe Family Dance is a part of Caffe Lena’s “Little Folks Series” which is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. \n  \n4:00 pm ET Virtual Community Dance \nThe idea of Community Dance is simple — get a group of people together with some musicians and a “caller” to teach and lead the steps\, and dance the night away. It’s a grass roots activity and not an event that requires participants to be serious dancers. Because this is a virtual dance\, we will focus on dances that can be done alone or with a partner.  The repertoire most conducive for singles and two people are simple international folk dances. \n\nPeter Davis\, Paul Rosenberg and George Wilson lead elementary and high school daytime workshops and residencies in traditional community dance and music\, and play for family and community dance evenings. Their repertoire consists primarily of contra\, square and international folk dances accompanied by lively reels\, jigs\, polkas and waltzes. Their music and dances transform even the most adamant\, grimacing youngsters declaring “I will never dance” into smiling dance-lovers asking: “When is the next dance?” \nAlthough they have worked as a trio since 1994\, Peter and George have each been arts educators since the mid-1970’s. Peter plays guitar\, piano\, banjo\, clarinet\, mandolin\, pennywhistle and many other instruments. Paul plays recorder and teaches and calls dances from America and around the world. George plays fiddle\, banjo\, and guitar. \nPeter\, Paul & George have recorded two CD s – and written companion instruction books – called Peel the Banana and Dance the World Around\, which present a sequence of dances from school residencies\, family dances\, and community celebrations.
