Join master musician Rachel Eddy for a lively multi-instrument workshop focused on the rich world of C tunes—those sweet and groovy melodies that add depth and color to old-time jam repertoires. Rachel will guide fiddlers, banjo players, guitarists, and other instrumentalists through distinctive phrasing, bowing, and rhythm techniques that bring these tunes to life.
Presented as part of the Capon Bridge Square Dance events by the Cacapon Music and Dance Foundation.
Join us for a Square Dance in the beautiful valley of Capon Bridge, WV!
Square dancing is a traditional form of dance in Appalachia that promotes community connections, physical health and lots of fun and laughter!
Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I need to know how to dance? No! Our square dance welcomes dancers of all skill levels and all age groups. No experience is necessary to dance at a square dance. Prior to the start of each dance, the 'Caller' walks everyone through the steps of how to dance the next set, and then as the dance is going on, the caller continues to sing/call out directions for the dancers to follow along.
Do I need to bring a partner? Though in the dance you are often paired up with a partner, you don't need to bring one in order to dance. There are always lots of individuals in attendance looking for a partner to get out on the dance floor with.
What should I wear? There is no required outfits at our square dance. Wear an outfit and shoes that you can move in, are comfortable and make you feel good!
What should I bring? You are likely to get hot dancing, so be sure to bring a water bottle so that you can stay hydrated. Food is not served at the Fire Hall, but you are encouraged to support a local business by getting your dinner to-go and having a picnic at the square dance! Open during the dance and walking distance away we can recommend Nino's Pizzarama for all your italian food needs or El Puente for excellent mexican cuisine.
Where can I stay? We often have, and love to have out of towners come to the Capon Bridge Square Dance! If you are planning to make a weekend of it, there are some wonderful places to stay in the area. Walking distance from the dance, stay at Basswood and be sure to mention you are coming for the square dance in order to get the square dancers discount. Or go just over the mountain where you can enjoy being surrounded by nature at Buffalo Gap Retreat - cottages, cabins and camping available 3 seasons of the year. Larger chain hotels can also be found in Winchester, VA which is an easy 20 minute drive from Capon Bridge.
These dances are made possible through a Central Appalachia Living Traditions grant provided by Mid-Atlantic Arts
