Square Dance for International Dance Week at the W.O.W. Hall!
The W.O.W. Hall– 291 W 8th Ave in Eugene
Tuesday, April 21st
Doors at 6:30, live music and dancing from 7:00-9:00 pm. Admission FREE but suggested donation of $10-15. All ages.
It’s a hoedown showdown!
In celebration of International Dance Week, we’re throwing another community square dance at the W.O.W. Hall—and believe us when we say that old-time is a very good time. There will be plenty of chaos, and a room full of neighbors moving and laughing together.
We’ll have three live bands driving the rhythm;
- Golden Twine Stringband
- Fine Times Stringband
- What the Devil
With Melissa Takush and Rosie Sweetman calling!
Our dances are intergenerational, welcoming folks of all abilities, and we use gender-free calls so everyone can find their place on the floor. The caller will teach every dance, so you can jump in even if it’s your first time. No experience, no partner, no fancy outfit required.
This is a free event, but donations are appreciated and help to support the performers and so that we can keep these community dances going strong!
Come get down at the hoedown!
If you can’t make this one but appreciate these community events, please make a donation here. Every little bit helps us to support the bands, callers and our mission.
Our Mission in the Community
Mud City Old-Time Society is dedicated to supporting old-time music and dance in the Southern Willamette Valley. We are a progressive, inclusive community that sponsors concerts, workshops, jams and square dances open to people from any background and experience level. If you are interested in the power of participatory music and social dance, we invite you to come play and dance with us!
Music for Everyone
As a precursor to bluegrass, old-time string band music is acoustic and lively. We host concerts, workshops and a variety of jams that welcome new players just getting started, as well as more experienced players wanting to play more up to speed.
Have a Dance With Us
Our square dances always feature live bands as well as callers who teach everything you need to know on the spot. You don’t need any special clothes or even a partner—there will be plenty of fun folks to dance with. Check out our events to learn more!
