Margaret Mathews

Dance caller and musician

I first discovered contradance in the early 1980s and that experience changed the direction of my life forever. While living in Syracuse, New York I played in several bands and, as caller, traveled throughout New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Vermont and Canada. My calling ranges from traditional to modern - squares, contras and round dances, gender free dances and community dances.

In 2005 I moved to Asheville, North Carolina area to be closer to the roots of Appalachian music and dance as well as the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
