Ben Sachs-Hamilton started contra dancing at 12 and started teaching dances at 15. Since then he has called and organized for dances across the northeast, with a focus on LGBTQ and gender-role-free dance communities. He fosters a welcoming and inclusive space for diverse groups of new and experienced dancers, adding tips on style and safety into his teaching. Ben currently lives in Western Massachusetts.
Cojiro (Co-jee-ro) is a Boston-based duo (Jess Newman & Mark Price) creating modern folk music for contra dance: Stompy, fun, and funky. Here's a video of them in Montpelier last fall.
