In addition to the Every Sunday Square Dances, there have been a lot of family dances going on around town. It's great fun to see the the little ones, who are quite possibly our next generation of dancers, fiddlers, and banjo players, out there having a blast. Flat Rock recently did two dances with Professor Banjo (also known as Square Dance Paul, aka Paul Silveria) when he was in town a week or so ago. And last Sunday we played the family dance with Steph Noll at the Village Ballroom, which happens right before the ESSD every third Sunday. Most old-time square dances around Portland are open to anyone (regardless of age) willing to dance and have a fun time, but if you're interested in learning more about dances that are specifically kid-friendly, keep an eye on the old-time music calendar on bubbaguitar.
