In the mid-twentieth century Chase's Mill hosted English Country Dances taught by Mary Chase Burroughs, as well as square dances. Kathy Torrey and Randy Miller will revive this tradition, sharing traditional tunes and teaching time-tested dances and singing games to all ages. All are invited to come and join the fun.
Kathy Torrey has been calling beginner dances since the late 70s and has been organizing dances in the East Alstead Church and Orchard School for many years. More recently she has taught dances at schools and outdoor events as well as calling contra dances for East Hill Farm.
Randy Miller has played fiddle and piano locally and nationally for more than 50 years. The NH State Council on the Arts called him "A New Hampshire treasure" for his work as a musician artist, publisher, teacher, preservationist, and historian. You can often catch him performing at the Hungry Diner in Walpole.
