Teton Valley Community Contra Dance with The Yellow Dog String Band
By popular demand, Downtown Driggs Association has teamed up with Seniors West of the Tetons to bring you not one, but TWO, contra dances this year! The first will be held on Friday, March 6 from 6-8pm indoors at Seniors West of the Tetons in the Driggs City Building, 60 South Main Street. The second will be on Friday, September 18 outdoors on Driggs Plaza. So save the dates and bring your dancing shoes - no partner needed! Dinner? SWOT has you covered with their famous burritos on sale during the concert.
This celebration of music and dance will be orchestrated by a rare convergence of some of the Teton Valley's finest musicians. Code-named The Yellow Dog Stringband, Ben Winship on bass, Brian Wicklund on fiddle, Rick McCraken on banjo and Sallie Sublette on guitar. A renowned professional contra dance caller from Montana, Caroline Oakley, will lead everyone through the moves, making each dance accessible to everyone. There is a $5 suggested donation. Please join us for these delightful gatherings of music, exercise, joy and connection. Begginers welcome!
