The workshop begins at 1:30 p.m. with a dance following from 3-6 p.m. at 283 Ga. 255 N in Sautee Nacoochee.
Two “possums” from the Virginia family band, Toss the Possum, are headed to Sautee to play a special Sunday afternoon contra dance Aug. 9, as part of a three-dance weekend starting Aug. 7 in Atlanta. The Sunday event kicks off at 1:30 p.m. at the historic gym of the Sautee Nacoochee Center with a free “Contra with Style” workshop for intermediate-experience dancers. Although, anyone interested in watching are welcome.
