DANCE LESSON with Alice Kenney. Alice has been leading local zydeco dance workshops in the Pioneer Valley. She taught several years at the Dance Flurry in NY and at Lincoln Center and has made appearances at several New England venues. Her simple and entertaining instruction will get you dancing zydeco from the inside out. Let’s go Zydeco!!!!!!!!

Zydeco Connection has been bringing the irresistible sounds and infectious rhythms of zydeco from Southwestern Louisiana to New England since 2004. Dominated by the button and/or piano accordion and the frottoir also called the rubboard or washboard. Zydeco is guaranteed to get your toes tapping. We are from Franklin County playing a spicy mix of zydeco, waltzes, two-steps, blues, boogie woogie and some swing. We pay tribute to all the great musicians who continue to preserve, define and expand the music of rural Louisiana. Zydeco has it’s origins in the Creole Culture of Southwest Louisiana with influences from Cajun and Rhythm & Blues music, adding electric guitar and bass and drums to get it’s unique blend of driving rhythms creating a music you have to dance to. In fact there’s a dance step called the zydeco and people often refer to going to the dance as going to the zydeco. Lil’Cyn on accordion, Eileen Almeida on rubboard and lead vocals, Dave LeBlanc on bass and vocals, Michael Rose on drums and Larry LeBlanc or Roland Lapierre on lead and rhythm guitar.

WE LOVE TO GET YOU DANCING!!!
