Accordion, fiddle and guitar classes were held every day for five days.
In between, and late into the night (following morning), students and instructors enjoyed
informal jam sessions. As you can see, we still had enough energy left for the dance
floor. Dancing can make you a better musician.
Jos (accordion, Belgium) and Anne (accordion, North Carolina) show how it's done.
