The Contra Capers band includes: Belinda Thom on fiddle, Tom Flaherty on banjo and Cheryl Ooten on keyboard. Watch a YouTube video from Alta Dena, but they accidentally named us Victorian Capers rather than Contra Capers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xDff0zBrQo
Jean Gorrindo is a favorite caller with a confident, easy going style. Hailing from San Luis Obispo County, she is a pro at looking out for the needs of the hall, and will bring a fun assortment of dances. Jean’s strong teaching and musical skills, combined with her rhythmic vocal quality, help her deliver flowing, challenging choreography in a fun and accessible way! She has a particular knack for collecting dances with exceptional flow designed to enhance the connectedness between us all. In her mind, that feeling of connection is what it is all about.
