Band & Leader

Joanna Reiner Wilkinson has taught English dance for over a decade. Her calling has taken her from Amherst to Ann Arbor, from NEFFA to Hey Days, including several sessions at Pinewoods Camp. Joanna led the Philadelphia-based Germantown Country Dancers English dance demonstration team for many years, is an avid dance nomad, and in her spare time, works to support her dance habit.  Her efficient teaching and amazing dance memory are legendary!

Murmuration is Karen Axelrod and Anna Patton and a third member drawn from a rotating cast of excellent violinists. Anna and Karen are thrilled to have Shira Kammen in that role for Fandango 2026!

Murmuration specializes in riding currents of energy and creativity through an improvisatory mind-meld that might remind you of swallows flocking.
