Who is Amy and Tiger Moan?

Amy Kucharik, a talented singer/songwriter from Somerville 
and familiar face around the Boston dance scene, is a 
dancer's dream musician. On her ukulele, she has immense 
musical range and her influences range from ragtime blues, 
country, and folk, to reggae, funk and infectious, danceable 
swing. Her band, Tiger Moand, will have you on your feet in 
no time. The songs are catchy and sexy, and we invite you to 
listen closely to Amy's witty (sometimes dark-humored) 
lyrics.

Check out Amy's latest albums at http://amykucharik.com.

Why "Bread and Bones"?

It's the title of a brilliant Amy Kucharik song off her EP, 
"Dance Crush Blues." Take a listen and you'll know why we 
chose it for our theme.

Tell me more about Fusion dancing!

Fusion is partner dancing that freely combines multiple 
dance aesthetics and musical genres. It means time to bust 
out those Tango, Ballroom, Salsa, Swing, Blues, etc. moves. 
Partner connection and musicality are key. Want to learn 
more? Sara and Ken will teach a complimentary lesson at 7:30 
p.m.!

What if I am not a dancer?

No problem! This event is open to everyone (dancer and 
non-dancers alike)! We will have part of the room set up 
with chairs so you can enjoy the live music.
