John C. Campbell Folk School - SWING BEHIND THE PLOW: Advanced Figures with The Wildflower Pickers and caller Charlotte Crittenden
2nd Saturday with Mountain Creek Boys and caller Charlotte Crittenden
Community Dances are back indoors! Every Tuesday, and occasional other nights. Come feel the warmth in the walls of generations past. Lovely live music with our kind callers and dance instructors are a great intro to community dance forms. If it is your first-time trying set-dancing, come early for simple walkthroughs and instruction on the easier dances. Century-old traditional dances are taught and have anyone willing, holding hands and smiling. You can expect CONTRAS, SQUARES, CIRCLES, LINES and other traditional and modern PARTNER dance forms. There is no pressure to dance, and there are always willing dance partners as folks switch throughout the evening. No special attire is required, though clean hard soled shoes make it easier. Our focus is on traditional music and dance, but watching, jamming, playing games, crafting, and other pastimes are welcomed and encouraged. There is a family friendly space in the Library, but we do ask that kids not be given free rein to the coffee station. See you soon!
A donation of $5-15 per adult is suggested for most events, but all are welcome regardless of contribution. Lineup and schedule are subject to change. We hope to see you soon!
