Meet at 4:45pm, ride at 5:45pm, square dance from 7:00pm - 9:00pm
End location: The Village Ballroom, 704 NE Dekum
The ride will begin with a community jam session - bring an acoustic instrument if you have one, or just hang out and enjoy! Then we will hop on our bikes and take a nice, leisurely ride, ending at the Village Ballroom for a good ol' fashioned square dance. No prior experience is necessary! The square dance features Amy Hofer and Maggie Lind as callers, and the Old Barn Preservation Society playing some sweet square dance tunes! It is fun and easy to learn even if you haven't square danced before. Dress up or dress down, bring a partner or not - it all works! This is a great chance to experience the thriving old time music and square dance community in Portland. No cost for the bike ride, but the square dance is $10, sliding scale. 4:45pm-ish - 5:45pm: Gather at Peninsula Park, community jam (I will have a basic tune list - contact me for more info!) 5:45pm: The ride begins! 6:45pm: The ride ends at the Village Ballroom 7:00pm - 9:00pm: Square Dance! Contact me if you need assistance with transporting your instrument during the bike ride. Volunteer positions available for a free ticket to the square dance! Contact me for details.
