Meet Sue Dupre

Bringing joy to every dance floor, from lively contra dances to elegant English country dances and festive barn dances.

I live in central New Jersey and have been calling contras, squares, English country dances, American 18th Century dances, and barn dances for many years. I've been a featured performer at various festivals, at many dance weekends, and as a staff member at week-long dance camps, including the Berea Christmas Country Dance School, Country Dance & Song Society (CDSS) summer dance camps, and the Bay Area Country Dance Society (BACDS) summer dance camps.

I have worked extensively as a dancing master for re-enactors from various eras, but especially with Revolutionary War, Regency, and Civil War re-enactors. I have a delightful and interesting repertoire of period-appropriate dances.

I'm known for enthusiasm and good humor, for an extensive repertoire representing the best of old and new dances, for clear and efficient teaching, and for my work with novice dancers.

Where

I'll travel widely to bring my calling and instruction to your dance events, from cozy barns to grand halls.
