about

Baba Yaga's Stew is bubbling and boiling with dance music from around the globe! 'Baba Yaga' is a witch from Slavic folklore who lives in a hut on chicken legs. Inspired by her mischievous spirit, three women scare up fiery songs, haunting melodies, and intoxicating grooves.

We invite you for a broom’s ride around the world in 80 minutes! We’ll take stops in Russia, Mexico, Thailand, South Africa and many more while staying true to our roots in American contra dance music!

Stumbling through a dark forest, Lucia heard the wailing of a lone clarinet. It was enchanting - dipping then soaring in a wicked 11/8 time signature….Violin leaping out of its case, Lucia had to fiddle along til she found Dianna, sitting on a log, playing Gankino Horo. They sang and laughed for hours, then decided to make a band. Longing for a drummer to join in their witchcraft, they searched over hills and dales to finally find Janet - an Aussie-born drummer, with vicious chops in blues, jazz, and Cuban Batá. Now the stem was boiling!
