We're hoping you'll join us for the last performance of the afternoon on
Saturday. And we mean that literally! Dance instructor and caller Jane
Rutherford will teach you the basics and we'll get some traditional
Newfoundland set dances on the go. The dance floor will be the grassy
area in front of the main stage. The dances will be easy and you'll
have fun if you decide to dance or to watch (but it's more fun to
dance). Jane has been dancing, calling and teaching with folk dance
groups for more than 20 years. She has performed at festivals, concerts,
and special events in Newfoundland, Quebec, Ontario, St. Pierre and
the northeastern U.S. She's been a staff member at Vinland Music Camp for the past three years teaching traditional
Newfoundland dance in Gros Morne National Park and has recently
completed a project with Vinland Music to create a teaching resource on
traditional Newfoundland dance for schools in the province.
