J4 2021 Program

Please visit the J4 staff page to see who will be teaching and playing music for the session!

​This session will feature a mix of gender-free and traditional calling styles this year. Our social dance callers and teachers plan to use the following calling terms:
  • English Country Dances: Positional calling when possible, gents and ladies otherwise
  • Contra dances: Larks and robins
  • Square dances: Gents and ladies
There will also be a moderated discussion of this growing trend in American social dancing for those who are interested. We look forward to your participation and feedback.
The July 4th Session at Pinewoods Camp is a program provided by the Country Dance Society, Boston Centre (CDS-BC), an Anglo-American dance organization based in the Greater Boston Area.

The session is held at Pinewoods Camp, a traditional dance and music camp in Plymouth, Mass. that is owned and operated by the non-profit organization Pinewoods Camp, Inc (PCI).
