If you choose to dance to live music, I can recommend a band that matches your musical choice (Irish, Southern, English Country, French Canadian, etc.) or I would be happy to work with your choice of musicians.
I recommend no more than one hour of called dances, but if you want to continue dancing you may want to transition into contemporary music and dance.

TESTIMONIALS
