Doors / Social Dancing at 11AM
The Manning Mud Stompers are a big group of exceptional young musicians. Daisy Caire, Natalie Caton, Nikolai Davis, Helen Feeney, Iola Gravois, Clio Levy-Tongate, Jasper Manning, Jayna Manning, Bodie Oakley, Lili Reizeck, and Noah Stelle are all students (or former students) at Berkeley’s Manning Music.
Susan Michaels is a nationally recognized dance caller who loves to call family dances. She will teach all the moves, with some that even babes in arms can do! She has been calling old-time square dances, family dances, and community dances for more than 35 years, including her hometown “chicken coop” square dance on Vashon Island in Washington. Susan specializes in building community, facilitating joy, and just plain having fun and she believes it is her calling in life to teach people how to hold hands in a circle and move to music. She has a unique gift for making kids, newcomers, 2 left-footers, and shy persons blossom through dance.
Susan has been a featured artist at festivals and camps throughout the U.S. including the Berkeley Old Time Music Convention (CA), Dare2BSquare West (Oakland, Seattle, Portland),Pinewoods American and Family Weeks (MA), and many other gatherings and camps.
