Susan Kevra's experience as an ECD clarinetist gives her a keen appreciation of the link between the music and the dance figures, something she brings to her teaching. It is also key to her ability to create pleasing dance programs, arranged not just for the dance figures but the musical moods evoked by the tunes.

Susan also represents a new voice in English country dance choreography. In concert with Alchemy musician, Rachel Bell, Susan has choreographed a dozen English dances and counting, including “Trip to Provence” and “Moonflower,” two of the most requested ECD dances in the US and England.

Alchemy are three dynamic players steeped in traditional English Country Dance music. Individually, they have performed across the United States, Canada, and Europe. As a trio, their improvisatory style brings a contemporary and innovative feel to both traditional and newly composed tunes and songs.

Alchemy invites the dancers to share in a sublime dance experience ranging from intensely energetic to the kind of exquisite, nuanced beauty that tugs at the heart strings. Click here to listen to some of their music.
