Get out your fancy duds, it’s time for an ol’ fashioned community social dance!
Back in the day, community dances were a major hub for social connection. They were where you went to let loose after a long week, catch up on town gossip, scout out a love interest, and build stronger ties with your neighbors.
We think there’s still value in this type of “IRL” community gathering. Plus, they’re a LOT of fun! So we’re partnering with SFF Presents to host a community social dance right here in Sisters.
Join C4C and SFF Presents on Friday, February 28th for a night of social dance and fiddling tunes!
Hosted at The Belfry, this family-friendly event will feature live fiddling and dance calling by Scandalous Chutney, your favorite local youth strings dance band. We’ll start with 15 minutes of instruction (What’s a “do-si-do”? What’s a “promenade?") before the tunes start ripping and the feet start flying. The event is free, but donations will be accepted at the door (suggested contribution: $10/adult, $5/child). Drinks, snacks, and fantastic merch will all be available for purchase.
Scandalous Chutney, the dance band sub-group of Outlaw Strings Club, will perform live and call dances at The Belfry on February 28th.
100% of donations will benefit Outlaw Strings Club, supporting the musical education and aspirations of local youth.
Can’t tell your left foot from your other left foot? No problem! A big part of community social dances is just watching and enjoying the atmosphere. There will be plenty of room to sit back and relax. We hope to see you there!
