Contra Dance and Annual Food Raiser

The Historic Jonesborough Dance Society will present a contra dance on Saturday, November 18, 2017 at the Historic Jonesborough Visitors Center, 117 Boone Street.  The featured band will be Unbalanced with Jacob Legrone as the caller.  Admission to the dance is $7, HJDS Members $5, Students $5.  No partner is necessary.  All dances are taught by the caller.   All dances are smoke and alcohol free.  A workshop for beginning contra dancers will be led by the caller at 7:00pm.  The dance will run from 7:30-10:30pm with a waltz break at 9:00pm where, once again, Klondike Bars will be served to all.

The Food Raiser, a month-long collection, is being organized to supply non-perishable food stuffs for the Jonesborough Area Ministerial Association Food Bank.  Nationwide food bank donations continue to decline.  Donor fatigue may be setting in as the economy puts more and more families at risk and unable to feed themselves.  “We are asking all dancers and members of the local community to bring non-perishable food stuffs to give to those in need” adds event organizer, David Wiley. 

Contra dances are community events.  At almost any contra you will find people of all ages and all dance skill levels, from young to old, beginner to expert.  Contra dancers form a very open and welcoming group of people.  You can come alone or with others since it is a tradition to dance with a variety of partners throughout the night.  It is perfectly acceptable for either a man or a woman to ask someone to dance.  It’s a great way to make friends with someone they haven’t met before. You will find contra dancing a great way to make new friends. 

For more information, please contact event organizer, David Wiley at 423-534-8879, visit www.historicjonesboroughdancesociety.org and on FACEBOOK.
