The band is Julie Metcalf (fiddle) and Max Newman (guitar). Max's melodic and accompaniment style is informed by the fiddle styles of the Northeast, Irish music, and old-time. Julie has played many styles of music, from Celtic chamber music to Mariachi; old-time fiddle tunes are her favorite. Will choreographs evenings with a variety of dances and tempos that at times surprise and always delight.

Community Code of Conduct:
It's announced at the dance, with more info available at the hall.
- Most of all, we want our dance to be fun and inclusive.
- Our policy is based on the guidelines written by Friends of Greenfield Dance: http://www.friendsofgreenfielddance.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/FGD_Etiquette_Guidelines.pdf
The basics:
- When someone asks you to dance, you can choose to say “Yes” or “No thank you,” no explanation needed. If you get, "No," let them ask you next time.
- Before dancing with your partner, discuss role preferences and physical preferences/limitations.
- Dance in a way that’s comfortable for your partner and neighbors. Respect other peoples' boundaries.
- Flourishes should be offered, not demanded. You have the right to reject a flourish.
- If someone makes you feel physically or emotionally uncomfortable, let them know right away. This is helpful for the person and the whole community. If you need help, tell a Green Ribbon Team member.
- Our dance is alcohol, drug, and smoke free.
COVID policy:
Masks optional but appreciated. Windows will be open with fans for ventilation. If you have any cold or flu symptoms, please stay home and we'll see you next dance.
