Swingin' Tern Dances

[Beginners’ Workshop 7pm]
Carl Levine & French Toast
Helen White—flute; Anna Bosnick—fiddle; Robin Russell—keyboard
Admission $15 [students $5]

Join the Breakfast Club as French Toast serves up hotcake licks they syruptitiously poached from the sunny side of life. Levine will leaven your dough to raise your spirits. Together they whip up enough eggstatic energy to keep the home fries burning. Dress lightly or you’ll be bacon. No yolk, you ain’t seen muffin yet—it doesn’t get butter than this. Don’t waffle on this one, or you’ll be burnt toast. Hakuna Frittata!

Carl Levine

Carl Levine has been a familiar face on the dance floor and on the stage. He has been dancing, organizing, and calling traditional dance for thirty years. His teaching is clear and concise, and his programming is lively and interesting.

French Toast

French Toast is inspired by the gripping harmonies, driving rhythms and melodic whimsy of French Canadian music. In addition to Québécois tunes, their contra sets serve up jazzy rags, mesmerizing riffs & jaunty jigs—all great for dancing! French Toast features Helen White on flute, Anna Bosnick on fiddle, and Cynthia Shaw on keyboard.
