The venue will be Cowee School Arts & Heritage Center, 51 Cowee School Drive, off of hwy 28, just north of Franklin. (Our usual venue, the Macon County Library, is under repair.)
The band will be Toss the Possum, en route to the Sautee Nacoochee dance festival weekend, coming in all the way from VA & UT! They share high energy, big sound, outstanding creativity and swing humor about the stage, too!
And we're excited to have Claire Takemori- from Asheville returning to call again! She is super with beginners and has great enthusiasm!
Come out and shake your possum!
A suggested donation of $10 goes to pay the band and caller; kids age 14 & under are free.
Smooth-soled shoes are recommended.
Details:
The dance is from 7-9. Beginners are encouraged to arrive by 6:40 for the instruction, and experienced dancers are keen to help those new to contra dance get started with the moves.The caller walks the dancers through the steps of the upcoming dance for a few minutes, and then continues to call the moves in time to the music so the dancers know what to do. As always, no partner is necessary and beginner dancers are welcome. Anyone curious about contra dancing or wanting to just listen to some fine live music may also attend… and you'll want to get up and shake your possum, too!
Our contra dances are generously sponsored by the The Arts Council of Macon County. Thank you!!
