SCDH is a week-long dance camp in the beautiful mountains of 
northeastern TN, in close proximity to Mt. Rogers National Recreation Area/Grayson Highlands State Park.

The Appalachian Folk School is a special space where like-minded people can gather, learn, and celebrate with each other.

Be part of the 11th annual spring version of our popular Contradancers Delight Holiday at our singular, spacious, open-air dance pavilion. Good music, lively dancing, competent calling, and fine fellowship were experienced during our first ten years and we certainly expect the same this year.

We take pride that SCDH is the most affordable and flexible dance week in the nation.

The folk school is ready with its 130 beds, barn, classrooms, two picnic pavilions, shower house, and camping areas. There are numerous other lodging options within a 15-20 minute scenic drive (i.e. vacation homes/cabins; bed &amp; breakfasts; motels; RV campgrounds). For meals, on-site participants can bring/cook your own food on your camp stoves in our picnic pavilions; or help the local economy by eating at a variety of dining establishments nearby (a list of meal/lodging options is posted  on our website -www.contradancersdelight.com).

The opening weekend will be your typical dance weekend program (but it also includes the Sunday night dance and on-site lodging).

On Sunday morning at 9 am, there will be an appreciation memorial session for members of the CDH community who have passed in recent years and are deeply missed.

Monday - Thursday, will have a morning dance, afternoon workshops/excursions, and an evening concert/dance.

Friday (the last day) will have a morning dance only (to recorded music).

Afternoons (Monday-Thursday) can be spent just relaxing or going on excursions/exploring the beautiful countryside whether it be hiking on the Appalachian Trail, seeing the wild ponies of Grayson Highlands, a hike to where VA/TN/NC come together in scenic mountain meadows, biking on the famous Virginia Creeper Trail, swimming in water holes and at lake beaches, paddling, or seeing professional theatre (i.e. Barter).

There will also be workshops in dance, dance calling (i.e. Bob Isaacs), and musicianship. 

The terms "ladies" and "gents" are used as role names and do not indicate or dictate the sex, gender or sexuality of any dancer. Any dancer may dance either role. ALL people are welcome as you are!
