The Ashokan Northern Week 2024 will be held at The Ashokan Center in Olivebridge, New York, USA from July 14th to 20th, 2024.

The week’s events will begin with a “pre-camp BBQ dinner and dance” on July 13th. Attendees can dine, dance, or just enjoy a great evening of New England music and dancing under Ashokan’s outdoor pavilion! Learn dance basics and then join in the contras & squares with live music by Jay Ungar & Molly Mason and the Northern Week staff.

Accordion instructors include:
• Miraj – (Audrey Jaber, Rachel Bell, Jacqueline Schwab)
• Sabin Jacques (Canada – picture above left) – as well as teaching tunes and techniques, Sabin will join up with La Famille LeBlanc to play for dancing and help lead the “Cinq a Six,” Northern Week’s legendary and very inclusive daily Québécois jam session.
• The Vox Hunters (picture below) consists of Armand Aromin and Benedict Gagliardi who are dedicated to sharing their infectious enthusiasm for harmony singing and instrumental music with others.
• Rachel Bell (picture above right) who will play for contra dance, French BalFolk dance, and English country dance.
