The Ice Cream Truckers bring together three wonderfully inventive musicians from some of contra dancing's most exciting bands: Noah Van Norstrand (fiddle, mandolin and feet), Kelsey Wells (fiddle & banjo), and Helen Kuhar (guitar). With musical roots in Great Bear Trio, Engine Room, and Good Company, this dynamic trio combines exceptional musicianship, infectious energy, and a shared love of making people dance.
Lesson for new and returning dancers: 7 pm
Dance: 7:30 - 10 pm
Admission: Sliding scale - suggested $10-25. Note: an average of ~$17/person will typically cover all of our costs for an evening. (NOTAFLOF)
We strive to create a fun, safe, and inclusive community. Learn more about how we care for one another: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uYvsfYMw87TCgS0HQk0B6KVIYnDRvs9Cxu7Pg-LmG_w/edit?pli=1&tab=t.0#heading=h.d9kn1g1hmv7n
Curious about contra? New dancers are always welcome and encouraged to attend the lesson at 7. Not ready to dance? That's ok, come for the live music 🙂

We love our volunteers! It takes a team of volunteers to host a contra dance. Would you be interested in sitting at the welcome desk for one dance (~15 minutes)? It's a great way to show your support and connect with dancers off the dance floor. Email us ([email protected]) if you want to know more.
