5th Anniversary Northside Square Dance

Calling all dancers and old-time musicians! PARTY in the backroom at Northside Tavern celebrating our fifth year of making square dances together! Russ Childers & Friends, callers; music by the Northside Volunteers. (Bring baked goods for our traditional cakewalk, too.) Tues June 13, 8-10:30pm. $5 donation per dancer.

HISTORY: The Northside Square Dance movement began when Nathan Rutz wanted to have a birthday square dance party with all his friends and neighbors in Northside. He hired Russ Childers to call the dance and the Rabbit Hash String Band to play, and the rest is history. We’ve moved the dance from Off the Avenue and the North Presbyterian Church — and now, for the past five years, we are still doing it, the 2nd Tuesday of every month, in the back room of the historic Northside Tavern. Come be a part of history! Musicians join the old-time veteran band members onstage; dancers on the floor. Beginners welcomed; all dances taught. Nobody needs to know nuttin’ but how to smile!
