Dancers!
Here are the details for our 2026 Fall-Holiday dance season!
BEGINS: Saturday, October 3, 7:30-10:00 PM.
VENUE: We had such a good turnout & great time last spring at the Belle Tower of Petoskey, 224 Michigan Street in downtown Petoskey that we have decided to move the dances there (Wood floors! Excellent Acoustics!). Please be aware that bathroom facilities may be limited to porta-potties due to renovation activities, which should be completed soon.
CALLER: Cynthia Donahey will be doing the calling/instruction. All dances are taught by the caller. You need not bring a partner to participate.
LIVE MUSIC: Provided by The Traveling Elderberries (Same band that played at Belle Tower last spring, new name: Ron Fowler-banjo, Bruce Gartner-fiddle/mandolin, Dane Hyde-guitar & John Richey-fiddle).
ADMISSION: By donation. Suggested amount is $10-$20 (Students $5)
POTLUCK: We will not be hosting the potluck until further notice. There are lots of excellent places to eat nearby.
PARKING: Please use public parking, including the Darling Lot, kitty corner from the venue. Street parking is also available. Please be mindful of driveways, alleys, sidewalks, entrances, exits, neighboring businesses and emergency access routes. Do not park in the Petoskey Professional Arts Building parking lot nor any other private parking lot.
DANCE COMMITTEE: Looking toward the future, we could use some new volunteers if folks want to see this activity continue! Please do talk to one of us at the dance (We’ll make an announcement). By the way, we will train!
UPCOMING: The next two dances are Saturday, November 7 with Larry Dyer calling and John & Mike (from the greater Lansing Area) dispensing the music, and Saturday, December 5, Cynthia Donahey calling and Peacemeal String Band providing the tunes. Same time, same place.
