Fiddler Extraordinaire and violin maker Rodney Miller brings over 35 years of experience playing and teaching New England-style fiddle music to WIDS. He was designated a "Master Fiddler" by the National Endowment for the Arts in 1983 and is admired by other musicians and callers in the contra dance community. More Info: www.RodneyMiller.net

Adina Gordon finds an outlet for her loves of travel, music, dance, and silliness by calling and dancing throughout the US and Canada, creating joy and minor chaos wherever she goes. This will be the first time for Adina to call in Dallas. More Info: www.AdinaGordon.com
