One Saturday night a month, the old gym behind the Sautee-Nacoochee Center in White County comes alive with the sound of mountain music and swirling of dancers following a contra dance caller. Contra dancing is a blend of folk and square dancing and is practiced all across the country. Starting at 7:30 p.m., dance participants may learn the dances and walk through some of the moves and variations.
