Lise Dyckman has been teaching and calling English Country Dance (and Contra Dance) for decades, in Philadelphia, New York City, California’s Bay Area region and beyond, and is known for her clear and concise calling, musicality, humor, interest in dance history and attention to welcoming community.
Six musicians and friends under the direction of David Wright and Sue Jones. Just give them English Country Dance music to play, and they’re Quite Carried Away!
The members of QCA are (clockwise from upper right): Martin Lodahl (viola da gamba), Susan Jones (English concertina), Jane Kostka (whistle), David Wright (violin and mandolin), Arlene Jamar (piano), and Dick Holdstock (octave mandolin and tenor banjo). Quite Carried Away is the home band for the English Country Dances.
As usual, beginners are welcome. If you are bringing first-timers or know of any planning to attend, please urge them to come to the introductory workshop at 1:30pm before the dance. No partners are needed, so come by yourself or with friends or with family. Events are accessible to people with disabilities.

COVID Safety Information:
All dancers must wear a high-quality mask, such as N95, KN95, or KF94, when in the dance hall. Masks with exhaust vents are not acceptable because they do not protect other dancers. No surgical or cloth face coverings are allowed.
Food and Drink
Hydration is important while dancing, and dancers are encouraged to bring their own water bottles. The dancer may step six feet away from other dancers and briefly move the mask aside to drink water inside the hall, or go outside to drink. Dancers are encouraged to bring snacks to share with the community, but must step outside to eat.
