Listen "48. Contra Dance Music"
Episode Synopsis
Contra dancing is an American folk dance that is laughably hard to describe… or is it? Jeffrey Spero is a contra dance musician, caller, and choreographer. We talk about the varied music of contra dance, what makes a great dance band, and everything that happens behind-the-scenes to make a wonderful dance evening (hint: there’s more improv than you might think!).Follow Jeffrey:www.jeffreyspero.comwww.syncopaths.comYou can listen to the episode on Contra Dance Calling with Lindsey Dono here: https://www.zeitgeistacademy.com/radio/episode/3807972b/11-contra-dance-calling Sign up for my newsletter: www.zeitgeistacademy.com/radioZeitgeist Radio is on Facebook and Instagram @zeitgeistacademy.
