Timeline
The Ralph Page Dance Legacy Weekend, begun in 1988 and held annually in January at UNH, is named in his honor.
Page died at age 82 on February 21, 1985, at the Cheshire County Hospital. He is buried in the Munsonville Cemetery.
In 1966, Page toured England and led workshops with the English Folk Dance and Song Society.
As an early American contra dance caller, Page is credited with sustaining and spreading the tradition, keeping it alive until the 1960s, when it experienced a revival due to the countercultural revolution. In 1977, Page received the Granite State Award. In 1980, he was given Callerlab's Milestone Award.
In 1956, the U.S. State Department sponsored Page to tour Japan. During this trip, he called a dance for more than 4,000 people in a Tokyo stadium; he used hand signals, as he did not speak Japanese.
Beginning in the 1950s, Page led folk dance camps across the United States.
Page published Northern Junket magazine from 1949 to 1984. It contained calling instructions, folk tunes, and other folk culture, and an editorial. His other works include:
Page married Ada Novak in 1945. He had one daughter, Laura Susan Wilson, born 1946. He lived in Keene.
In 1944, Page was one of three founders of the New England Folk Festival Association. He was its president for several years.
In 1934, he was elected selectman for Nelson by a five-vote margin over a more conservative incumbent, Harry Green.
Page was active in local politics. He served as the president of the Cheshire County Historical Society for 15 years and as a selectman for Nelson from 1934 to 1938.
Page began calling (prompting) contra dances in 1930 accidentally, when he was scheduled to play for a dance in Stoddard but the caller developed laryngitis. He took five days off per year from his work. Every Tuesday, he travelled to the Clarendon Street YMCA in Boston to call contra and square dances.
Ralph George Page (January 28, 1903 – February 21, 1985) was an American contra dance caller. He was influential in spreading it from New Hampshire to the rest of the United States and other countries, and was recognized as an authority on American folk dance overall.
Page was born on January 28, 1903, in Munsonville, New Hampshire. He grew up in Nelson, New Hampshire, where his Scottish-Irish American family had lived for several generations as farmers.
