Maia Calls Dances

So jazzed to have gotten to call LCFD’s Spring Dance Camp again—and at beautiful Pinewoods no less! What a lovely space and a lovely bunch of dancers. I taught a waltz workshop and reprised my Contra Superglue workshop from last spring’s West Coast Queer Camp, and also called some dances. (Big thanks to all-star musicians Anna Patton, Audrey Jaber, Michael Freeman, Tim Ball, and Helen Kuhar!) Here’s what I called (interspersed with English from Scott Higgs and contras from Stephanie Marie):
