Join us for an authentic mountain dance night with the Darren Nicholson Band, celebrating America’s 250th birthday with one of the oldest living traditions in the Country.

Square dancing is older than America itself. Like much of Southern Appalachian culture it grew out of a mix of cultures — English country dances, French quadrilles, and Scottish and Irish reels that settlers brought to these mountain where it was woven into something distinctly and beautifully American. This is the dance form that brought America together as neighbors and communities for generations — what better way to celebrate than with Dancing on the Square?

Never square danced before? Perfect — this is a teaching event. You don’t need to know a sing step to come out and join in. Darren’s live caller will walk dancers of every age and experience level through every figure, every swing, and do-si-do. If you can walk, you can square dance.
