The sounds of fiddles and banjos playing at the Street Dance have been a part of Henderson County’s heritage for several decades. People of all ages journey to downtown Hendersonville to enjoy mountain heritage music and dancing.
Put on your dancing shoes for some good toe tapping music, where there is a dance area in front of the stage.The dances will be held every Monday evening from July 11 through August 15 at Visitor Center, 201 South Main Street.
The Street Dance comes alive with people square dancing and clogging to a band playing traditional bluegrass music. Special appearances by area clogging teams make for a entertaining, foot stomping evening.
Lively instructions are given to the dancers by a local caller. At 6:30 pm, caller Walt Puckett will teach audience members some basic square dancing, such as the Right Hand Across, Open the Garden Gate, and the Shoe Fly Swing moves mean in traditional Appalachian square dancing.
