David Millstone, Lebanon, NH, discovered contra dances in the early 1970s when he moved to New Hampshire;
he has been leading dances for more than 45 years.
He has called dances in seven European countries, including numerous tours in the Czech Republic and in Denmark. He is coordinator of the Square Dance History Project, a digital collection showcasing all forms of square dance, traditional and modern.
After many years as a hard-core contra dancer who resisted English country dance—"What? No swings?"— David saw the light at English-American Week at Pinewoods in 1987, and he has been calling English dances regularly since 1993. He is drawn to the rich variety of moods and music that English dance offers, from elegant to zesty , with longways and set dances offering interesting and unusual dance choreographies.
In an earlier life, he was an elementary school teacher for 30 years with a particular passion for studying Homer’s Odyssey with his fifth graders.

During the weekend the dancers will be musically pampered by 3 young musicians.
