Yes, the rumors are true! We are so pleased to announce that, after five years, Bug Stomp is back! And we’ve got an amazing lineup to insure this celebration! Our bands are the legendary Wild Asparagus and Charleston’s very own ContraForce! The callers are just as stellar: George Marshall will be here along with Seth Tepfer.
PBS has been known to sell out fast, so please do not wait to sign up! We cannot wait to welcome back our old friends from far and wide, and to welcome new friends to our Bug Stomp community.
Exciting workshops and delicious snacks provided throughout the weekend.
We will be dancing for the first time at a new venue, C.E. Williams Middle School, which has a beautiful wood floor, a larger dance space and an outdoor courtyard.
As before, some housing will be offered with local dancers, but is not guaranteed.
LOCAL DANCERS: CAN YOU HOST ONE OR MORE OUT-OF-TOWN DANCERS FOR APRIL 26-28? IF SO, PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL to [email protected]. MANY THANKS : )
