West Philly Freeloaders is a band of local old time musicians. All are veterans of West Philly Square Dance for many of the 10 years since its latest reincarnation. The band consists of:

Ted Klein - Banjo

Ben Larson - Fiddle

Chris Dalnodar - Guitar

Gabriel Furtado - Bass

Alex Kramer has been teaching and calling traditional square dancing since 2012. He has danced to the calling of many of the great contemporary square dance callers of West Virginia and North Carolina, including Phil Jamison, T-Claw, Lou Maiuri and many more. His calling was featured in the Radiolab podcast Birdie in the Cage. He currently lives in West Philadelphia and organizes West Philly Square Dance! He also plays fiddle in an old-time and bluegrass band, Rubble City String Band, which plays every 4th Thursday of the month at Abyssinia Upstairs. In his spare time, you can find him running after his toddlers in the park, wishing the Philadelphia Parks Department had the forethought to put gates around its playgrounds.

As usual - doors at 7, Dance at 7:30pm, last waltz at 9:30pm, snacks and chats and jams to follow. All dances are taught, beginners welcome.
