Rare Privilege features Maria Terres on fiddle and Amy McFarland on piano. Their music has often been described as "way more sound than we ever thought two people could make." Devotion to their individual instruments, a sense of innovation, and a deep love and respect for the living tradition of folk music and dance combine to give their music an imaginative and lyrical energy and drive. Based in Wisconsin, they have performed throughout the US, as well as in Canada, Ireland, and Australia.
6:30pm Beginner Lesson
7:00pm-10:00pm Dance
Caller: Noah Natzke
All dances are taught; no partner or experience necessary.
If you are new to contra dancing, we recommend attending the 6:30pm beginner lesson. Dances tend to start simple and increase in complexity as the evening progresses.
Masking or testing for COVID is no longer required, unless Dane County's CDC hospital admission level is high or red. If it is red or high, participants must either wear an effective mask - N95, KN95, KF94 - or have a negative self-administered rapid antigen test after 5 pm on the day of the dance. We will notify the dance community if it's yellow or red.
Please do not attend if you are having symptoms of respiratory illness.
Send us a message if you're interested in getting involved, or have general questions, concerns, or feedback about our dances.
