Coming in from Philly we have the fantastic High Strung, four multi-instrumentalists who keep the energy all the way up! They’ll be joined by Maia McCormick calling funky and fascinating contras with panache and maybe just a few puns.

High Strung is a vibrant new four-piece from Philadelphia. With foot-stomping reels, pulsing marches, and soaring jigs, High Strung blends Celtic, Canadian, and American folk traditions into an electrifying sound, guaranteed to keep the floor moving until the last waltz.

Maia is a contradance caller and choreographer based in New York City and has called festivals, dance camps, and weekends all over the country. She got her calling start while organizing the Williams College contradance, and has been behind the mic ever since. Maia is known for her accessible and stimulating programming, her dedication to building safe and comfortable dance floors, and her terrible (charming?) puns.

What’s an Advanced Dance?

The caller will call some trickier material with less teaching than usual. If you are comfortable doing a no-walkthrough and can get back on track when a dance gets weird, you should be good!

Dancing Starts at 8pm, Afters from 11-late at Logan’s Run on 5th Ave.
