Unison Arts Center will present community contra and square dancing led by local caller Eric Hollman. These are simple, energetic dances set to lively fiddle music with American and Celtic roots. Eric will be joined by Ambrose Verdibello on fiddle and Norman Plankey on guitar. There will be a dance lesson at 7:30, followed by the dance at 8pm.
Eric Hollman is a contra and square dance caller who is known for his zesty 'spaghetti contras' as well as family dances and school programs. He is also a teacher of swing, contra, zydeco and 'passionate waltzing.'
