For your dancing pleasure we proudly present some of the best string bands and callers in North Carolina. Our gatherings feature the social dances and straight-up hard-driving banjo and fiddle music that have been a part of our regional culture for over a century.

Beginners are always welcome and you don't need to bring a partner, so come on out and socialize while listening to some of the greatest traditional music in the South. Let's rock the frolic, y'all!
