Belfast Flying Shoes Dance Series

Belfast Flying Shoes Dance Seriesさん Crowfoot weaves musical influences from England, Ireland, Quebec, and the Appalachian Mountains into a captivating fusion that delights dancers and listeners alike. Into this meeting ground of traditions, they incorporate their own distinctive original compositions and songs.

Crowfoot originated in 2003, after a fortuit...ous meeting at a festival in Boston. They soon after became a touring band, playing throughout the US, Canada, and the UK. They have gained a reputation both on the concert stage and on the contra dance circuit for their trance-like grooves, subtle interplay, and unstoppable energy.

On the concert stage, rich vocal harmonies, haunting songs, and finely crafted instrumental arrangements compliment their infectious dance energy. Their diversity of instrumentation allows for a wide palette of sound, and audience members are consistently won over by the depth and variety of Crowfoot’s musical experience.

Those of you who have been to a dance Chrissy Fowler has called, know she adeptly chooses dances that mesh seamlessly with the tunes, and skillfull directs newcomers and seasoned dancers alike in a cheerful and clear manner!
