Do-si-do thru April w/ Bozeman Folklore dance events
Bozeman Folklore Society will present a special Dance Party on Friday, April 19th at 8pm. These gatherings are geared toward experienced dancers who already know the basic moves including balance and swing, allemande, do-si-do, ladies chain, stars and Hey for 4. There will be no beginner’s lesson, minimal instructions, and quick walkthroughs, allowing for more energetic and complex dances. The music will be provided by Barley & Sage with caller Derek Gallagher. This event will be held at the Gallatin Labor Temple, located at 422 E Mendenhall in Bozeman.
Following Friday, April 26th is another Community Contra Dance back at the Bozeman Senior Center, located at 807 N Tracy. Hypergolic will provide the tunes alongside caller Kristen Emmett. A half-hour dance workshop kicks off the evening at 7:30pm, with the main event beginning at 8pm.
Families, singles and couples are welcome to all dances. Admission is $10, $8 for members, and $5 for students. Please bring clean, grit-free, non-marking shoes to protect the floor. Visit www.bozemanfolklore.org for further details about these and other upcoming events.
