Adina Gordon finds an outlet for her loves of travel, music, dance and silliness by calling and dancing at festivals throughout the US and Canada, creating joy and minor chaos wherever she goes. Combining a voice that makes you WANT to do what she says with a commitment to using that power for good and not evil, Adina calls contras and squares both old and new that cause spontaneous eruptions of joy on dance floors. She counts it as a job well done whenever anyone says, "I don't really like squares, but I like your squares."


Jim Kitch has been dancing contras, English country dances, and more since the late 1970's. He has been calling dances since the early 1980's and is sought after as a caller and teacher throughout the United States and elsewhere. He is known for his clear teaching and his focus on the idea that dancing is for fun! Jim is also widely respected as a composer/choreographer of both American and English traditional dances, and is particularly known for his smoothly flowing dances, and for his invention/adaptation of a variety of figures that have become standards in modern country dances. He lives in Audubon, Pennsylvania, just outside Philadelphia.
