$10 at the door, youth dance free (cash or check preferred) - pre-registration not available

Join us for our spring social folk dance of the year, where we celebrate the season with live music, traditional dancing, and the joyful gathering of friends, neighbors, and community! All dances are taught live, so people of all ages and skill levels can participate. Attendees called the dances “an absolute blast”, “a great community event”, “so much fun”, and “awesome”. Another commented, “I’m so happy we have amazing events like this in Ely!!” Someone else said, “This event brings all areas of the community together and bridges the gap between all ages.”

Please also consider joining us for the Old Time Strings Jam Session (at the Ely Folk School from 4-5pm) before the dance!

A big thanks to Terrence Smith, our caller for the evening, and our talented local musicians headed by Joe Smith for their accompaniment! This event would not be possible without the dedicated help of our volunteer team and the generous sponsorship of Ely Family Dental.
