The New England area has developed a great blues scene in recent years. And many of the venues feature excellent craft beers, local microbrews and great barbecue. Always a great combination in my book! So whether you are a blues fan, a beer aficionado, a BBQ lover, or a combination of all three, lets get together to have some fun, make some new friends, and enjoy. Most meetups will feature live blues music, but we won't overlook BBQ joints that don't have live music and a beer only event …

Country Music kicks ass! But it's really, really hard to find a place not only to hear Country, but also dance to it. This meetup gets people together who love listening to country music, love hanging out with friends and drinking beer (preferably out of mason jars), and who wanna dance to it! Line dancing may not have such a great vibe here in MA, but when you do it with a bunch of friends in a bar with lots of beer, it catches on and everyone has a great time.

European Folk music and Cultural History with Natasha Dukach. Beyond just exploring Pan-Slavic and Eastern European music for the sheer joy of it, I also want to push the perceived boundaries of national folk music. In Russia, Ukraine, and Hungary, growing conservative political factions are attempting to use their nation’s musical heritage in a bid for a kind musical nationalism--each claiming the purity and superiority of their respective nation’s musical traditions as a way of instilling cons …

Contra dance is a kind of social dance with live music where a caller teaches the figures.  You don't need to come with a partner, and while there is a short lesson before each of our dances it's optional.  Most people learn contra dancing by doing it. It looks like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beOFeIIk4KY You should wear comfortable clothes that you can move easily in.  High heels don't work well.  We'll have water but if you'd like to save cups bringing a water bottle is good.

What I will be teaching you, you already know. All of us have a body in which we experience and interact with life. But have you ever thought about how our body is really just the house for our soul? Inside us reside the images and narratives of who we are- everything that has ever happened to us. The idea behind my original creation, Fusion-Improvisation, is that if we can engage and refine the vessel we call body, there is no limit to how we can reveal our souls. When we are skilled with our b …
