Dana Parkinson will be calling to the music of Category Five. So get ready for some rip-snorting good music and dance!

Dana Parkinson started contra dancing in 2009 with the Tampa Friends of Old-Time Dance. Through support from her local community and inspiration from dancing at dozens of dance weekends, Dana soon found herself at a Contra Calling Workshop with Cis Hinkle. In no time at all she was calling local dances.

After several years as a travelling dancer, Roni Wiener has finally decided she can skip a few dances and share the joy of contra from the stage. Roni loves using what she learned on the dance floor to craft engaging programs that entertain all levels of dancers. She teaches and calls with clarity and contagious enthusiasm. Roni also enjoys teaching contra dancing workshops to help build a thriving contra dancing community.

Come early and catch Roni's 15-minute workshop for experienced contra dancers just before the dance. The theme of the workshop is 'Timing'.

ONCE HAPPN’D, TIS A THING. TWICE HAPPN’D, TIS A TRADITION!
