About us
Asheville Community Square Dance
Fiddles, banjos and a whole room full of dancing neighbors! Once a month we bring traditional Southern Appalachian square dancing to Haw Creek Commons, with a live string band and a caller who keeps everyone moving. It’s a mountain tradition that has been bringing folks together for generations, and it’s one of the friendliest ways to spend a Saturday night in Asheville.
👋 New to square dancing?
You’re in good company! Most dances are Southern Appalachian squares, with some circle dances and reels (long lines) mixed in. Every caller brings their own favorite dances, so there’s always something new. Mistakes are part of the fun!
🙌 Do I need a partner?
Nope! Come solo or with friends. Anyone can dance any role. To find a partner, ask someone to dance, or head to the floor and raise your hand and we’ll pair you up.
📚 Do I need the lesson?
It’s a great way to start! The 7:00 PM lesson warms you up with some flatfoot steps and basic moves. Missed it? No problem. Every dance is walked through before the music starts, and the caller guides you the whole way.
🎻 Callers and bands
We’re lucky to host some of the region’s best old-time callers, along with community callers trying out new dances. Our bands are mostly local favorites, with some great regional talent stopping by now and then. Expect hard-driving fiddle, banjo, guitar and bass that will get your feet moving! Each month’s lineup is posted on social media, and our newsletter has all the updates:
