David Smukler has been calling for dances since 1981. Based in Syracuse, NY, he calls regularly in NY state. Kitchen Chair consists of Jennifer Dotson playing fiddle, and Gail Blake accompanying on guitar or mandolin. The group has played widely in the mid-Atlantic area and recently toured with a Canadian caller. Contra dancers usually change partners after each dance. This makes it an ideal dance form for people who come alone. More than in other dance styles, you and your partner can have very different skill levels and still enjoy dancing together.

The dance takes place on Saturday Dec. 4, at 7:45 p.m., at Wyoming Seminary Lower School, 1560 Wyoming Ave., Forty Fort.
