DECEMBER 2013 SECOND CHANCE SQUARE DANCE!!

 
The Second Chance Square Dance returns at 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 20, at the Linen Building, 1402 W. Grove St. in Downtown Boise's Linen District. $7. All ages, full bar (I.D. required). Plenty of free, off-street parking is available at the Linen Building.

Modeled after the popular Hokum Hoedown and featuring many familiar faces, the Second Chance Square Dance is a modern take on the old-time hootenanny featuring the infectious swing of an authentic acoustic string band. Providing music for the dance will be the Second Chance Band (Dave Daley, Beth Mason, Tate Mason, Jim Williams, Renee Homey, and Rachel Dunn).

At each dance, a live band performs a diverse assortment of traditional folk-dance and string-band tunes while a cast of colorful callers (Ava Honey, Dorothy Shue, Amy Eiden, Ali Ward, and Grace Ward) directs the dances.

In addition to square dancing, the event features some good old-fashioned, swingin', two-steppin' western dancing. Young and old, couples and families, tattooed hipsters and ten-gallon cowboys ... the Second Chance Square Dance is a come-as-you-are, hand-clappin' hootenanny for all.
