Join Buncombe County Special Collections for a traditional mountain dancing lesson suited for true beginners.
During the month of August there will be three opportunities at Pack Memorial Library to learn the basics of this traditional Appalachian style of dance from one of the best instructors in the area, Linda Block, of the Green Grass Cloggers. Linda says, “I'm thrilled to share with others a dance that I learned so many years ago that still brings me joy today - whether performing with a group or improvising to an old-time tune on my own. I hope I can inspire others to go forth and clog!”
Classes are free to attend, but registration is required. This class is suited to adults, kids age 10 to 16 will need a parent present. Please visit the library webpage and use the link on the calendar to sign up.
Make sure to wear comfortable clothing and shoes that can slide but stay on your feet! Sandals and sneakers are not recommended. Water bottles with lids are welcome. If you have any questions, contact Special Collections.
