Wild Asparagus
With Caller George Marshall

Wild Asparagus is beloved throughout the country for their rich, original, irresistible sound blending influences from traditional dance music of the British Isles and Canada, swing and jazz from the US, and, of course, the unforgettable Middle Eastern tang of the bombarde. This is a wonderful chance to dance to Wild Asparagus without the tightly packed dance floor common in Greenfield and elsewhere. Join us for an evening of high spirited music and dancing for all ages and levels of experience. All dances taught. Come with or without a partner.
