Square Dance Master's Class

Sunday August 18

 

July 28 Maser's Class at Pine Hill Community Center





From 1 to 4 p.m. at the Pine Hill Community Center (287 Main Street, Pine Hill, NY) find out what it is like to learn square dancing from legendary fiddler and traditional square dance caller Hilt Kelly and his band, The Sidekicks.  Hilt, his wife Stella, plus Don Strausser and Don Irwin, will treat you to square dances that have been danced in the Catskills for decades if not longer.  Hilt and the Sidekicks will share the stage with John Jacobson and the Tremperskill Boys, passing on the tradition of square dancing and fiddling to a new generation. 

Beginners are welcome and all dances will be taught - at least until it is clear that the dancers need no more instruction!  If we can stop dancing long enough, we'll engage the musicians in a discussion of square dancing in the Catskills, fiddle styles, former square dance bands, and more.

We hope you'll be there!
