In spite of the heat, dancers enjoy "Marching Through Georgia" at the high-ceilinged Walton Grange in June. |
The dance will be held at the United Methodist Church Hall, 25 Church Street, Phoenicia, NY 12464, located about two blocks off Main Street. From Route 28, at the west entrance to Phoenicia, follow Main Street across the bridge, skip the left turn on Co. 214 and take the next left which is Church Street. Approaching from the east, turn right on Bridge Street Extension and on Bridge Street, cross the bridge and turn left at the four corners, which is Main Street. Then just after the gas station, turn right on Church Street.
Catskills Folk Connection's square dances are designed for new dancers of all ages as well as experienced dancers. Perfect for family fun. All dances will be taught; and you need not bring a partner. Refreshments will be available.
Should 90 degree temperatures return, don't worry. The Church Hall is air-conditioned.
Admission: Adults $7; children 12 and under are free.
Catskills Folk Connection is sponsored by the Roxbury Arts Group, and is funded in part by the New York State Council on the Arts Folk Art Program, by Gov. Cuomo and the NYS Legislature, by an Action Grant from Humanities NY, and by the O'Connor Foundation.
