Contra and English Dance Piano
Robbin Marcus has been playing for both contra and English dances since the early part of this century. Classically trained as a piano major, Robbin's versatility shines in the improvisatory dance arena. Here, she gets to really "let go" and just play for fun, riffing off other musicians and always discovering something new about familiar music.
Currently, Robbin's only active band is Reelplay, which is playing for many virtual gigs, because she and Dave Marcus are co-located as musicians and spouses. Information on Reelplay can be found on our website.
In the past, Dave and Robbin collaborated with Meredith Doster as 'Round Robbin, the house band for the Atlanta English Country Dance.
