Square Dancing Returns to Halcott May 21

Posted

If you have enjoyed square dancing in the past or think you might like to try it, now is the time. Catskills Folk Connection is once again offering in-person square dances at locations in and around Delaware County.  

Just over the Delaware County line in Halcott - north of Fleischmanns - on Saturday, May 21 at 7 p.m. the Tremperskill Boys will play for a traditional old-time square dance with John Jacobson and Dane Scudder, fiddlers and callers.  Accompanying them there at the Halcott Grange will be Amy Lieberman on bass fiddle, Sheila Addison on guitar, and Ginny Scheer on flute.  It will be an evening of familiar squares, with a few new ones thrown in, round (couple) dances and songs.  All dances will be taught.

The Halcott Grange is at 264 Route 3 in Halcott Center, a large agricultural valley north of Fleischmanns. 

Masks are recommended, and may be required due to the unpredictability of Covid infection rates. The safest plan for dancers would be to plan to wear a mask and to arrive in a group of eight, and dance only with that group. 

For more information contact Ginny Scheer at gscheer.mcs@gmail.com or  607-326-4206.

Catskills Folk Connection is sponsored by the Roxbury Arts Group, and is funded in part by the NYS Council on the Arts Folk Art Program, by Gov. Hochul and the NYS Legislature, by Action and Vision Grants from HumanitiesNY, and by the O’Connor Foundation.
