Chloe Levine

calling to

Neon Creek

Glen Echo Park
Bumper Car Pavilion
7300 MacArthur Blvd.
Glen Echo, MD
3-6 pm

New dancer introductory session at 2:30 pm

 

Immersed in traditional dance and music from a young age, Chloe Levine leads us through this unique afternoon of dancing with enthusiasm and some oontz oontz, too.

Neon Creek is an “electro-trad” duo from Philadelphia that blends the contra tunes you know and love with novel electronic textures. Featuring Chloe Rosenthal (keyboard/synth/computer) and Jared Bishop (fiddle), the duo uses live looping, layered effects, and in-the-moment improvisation to interpret trad tunes in a new light. If you’re wondering what electronica-infused contra dance feels like, the answer is simple: come find out!

Admission: $15. Cash, check, or credit cards accepted at the door. (Credit card fees apply).
