Saturday 10 am - Satisfying Contras AND Happy Heys Are Here Again
A combination of Jeremy's workshops featuring dances that hit the sweet spot, and some with varied heys.

Saturday 1:30 pm - Synching Up the Groove
In this workshop, the band, caller, and dancers work together to see how they can impact the synchronicity of contra dancing and how in each role they can modify their style to improve the groove.
A combination of mismatched and well-matched music/dance combinations is used to engage the dancers and generate conversation and ideas.
STEAM! band member, Claire, facilitates the workshop, in collaboration with the caller, Jeremy.
They create an interactive conversation between band, dancer, and caller and encourage sharing.
Dancers have noted that this workshop helps them understand how they have agency within the dance and how their dancing style can intensify the groove.
Musicians are welcome to sit in with STEAM as well.
