About this Event

Caller Robin Fischer is back in March! Round Top Stringband plays upbeat fiddle tunes. The caller teaches each dance right before we dance it. No partner necessary; no experience necessary. Kids welcome.

Doors open: 7:45 pm
Square dancing: 8:00-10:00 pm

This is a queer-friendly event. Role-switching is encouraged. The caller uses the terms "ladies" and "gents" to refer to dance roles; these terms can refer to anyone who is dancing in that role.

Wear dance shoes if you have them! No stiletto heels allowed.
