Seth Tepfer enjoys “creating order from chaos”
Seth Tepfer enjoys “creating order from chaos”

Like a dancing puppet master, Seth Tepfer  enjoys “creating order from chaos”, as he uses humor, a steady voice and colorful persona to guide crowds through twirling dance patterns. Since calling his first contra dance in 1997, Seth’s services have been in growing demand; he’s logged more than five hundred appearances at dances across the U.S. and Canada, Costa Rica, the Caribbean, Denmark and England. Until corona virus struck, it was not unusual to find him booked for weekend dances up to two years before an event.

So when will The Syncopaths be performing here again?

The Syncopaths bring a fresh, contemporary spin to tunes and songs rooted in the Scottish, Irish, and American folk traditions.

Here is the story with The Syncopaths

Among Florida’s contra dance community, many of us have been looking forward to the return of The Syncopaths to perform in Florida. It now seems so long since they performed for us here!

Then The Dancing Fish calendar event of Sept 30-Oct 2 announced the band’s return.

“The Syncopaths bring a fresh, contemporary spin to tunes and songs rooted in the Scottish, Irish, and American folk traditions.”

The Syncopaths were originally supposed to be performing this coming dance weekend of Sept 30 – October 2. However, due to the pregnancy of one of its members, they proposed to perform the weekend of June 2-4, 2023.

We’re still planning on getting this baby delivered by the fall. And you can keep up to date with our progress by joining our mailing list!
