Emily Rush Caller

Emily Rush fell in love with calling in 2013 after Rick Mohr's week-long workshop at CDSS's Family Week at Timber Ridge. For me, contra dancing has always been about connection, inclusivity, joy, and play; as a caller I make that my goal for each gig. Dancers appreciate my enthusiasm, energy, and my clear calling. I endeavor to throw in occasional Pro Tips during my dances, but fundamentally I believe my role is to get the dance going and get out of the way of the music.

Spintuition is an-award winning New England based folk band that blends creativity and tradition into tight harmony and joyous rhythms. In 2019, two years after the band was formed, Spintuition tied for first place in the Young Tradition Vermont contest in Burlington. Presenting a compelling mixture of spicy tunes and glorious old songs in the styles of trad-Irish, French-Canadian, and Old Time, Spintuition has cultivated a vibrant and vital sound that will leave you hungry for more.
