FREE Social Dancing lessons with Rolands Dance Studio on Saturday, August 9th!

For the average person, learning to dance might be a way to avoid making a fool of themselves at a wedding or to get the exercise they’ve been missing. But social dancing is a great way to meet people and find a constructive social outlet. Social dance is a deeply collaborative and culturally rich dance form that is enjoyed in all parts of the world. They are practiced in duets or groups for social purposes – celebrations, ceremonies, parties, exercise, or just for fun. Social dancing is an amazing way to meet new people, pick up a hobby that’s as good for your brain as it is for your body, and improve your partnering skills.

You don’t usually need a partner to attend these dance lessons; because you’re learning how to dance with strangers, Roland and Catherine will rotate partners throughout the lesson so that students can experience different leads and follows. Lessons will focus on lead and follow skills, the unique counting and rhythm for each dance, and basic figures and how to cue them.

So come on out and add social dancing with Salsa to Swing and everything in between to your evening! FREE Dance lessons are 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. with Rolands Dance Studio. 18 and up are welcome until 10 p.m. No cover before 9:00 p.m.

BoneS Fork LIVE at Paddy's Irish Pub on Saturday, August 9th!

BoneS Fork is a rock-and-roll band based out of North Carolina. Their musical style is a mixed palette ranging from alternative and grunge to classic rock, folk, and country. The band has released two original albums: Goat Tree in 2016 and Beautiful Circle in 2021 and intertwines their American rock originals with hits and classics from, as they put it, “the Cold War through the GWOT.” Performing mostly throughout the Carolinas, this foursome has toured as far north as Virginia and southward down to Florida. Bones Fork audiences can expect thick pulsing rhythms, girthy power chords, and heavy hitting vocals as well as technical strings, plucky percussion, and smooth harmonies.

Fronted by Rob Dufresne, a retired Green Beret turned singer/songwriter, many of the band’s original songs and lyrics are drawn from his experiences while serving with the Army Special Forces. Even the band’s moniker, Bones Fork, is taken from creek in a swampy area near Camp Mackall, the proving grounds for would-be Green Berets. Other themes and sentiments woven throughout Bones Fork original songs are rich, colorful, and stirring walks through life as seen through the lenses of Generations X through Z. The band is based in North Carolina but has performed along the East Coast as far north as Virginia and as far south as Florida. This group plays both original music and their favorite hits— covers that span the musical spectrum from hard rock and grunge to alternative, classic rock, and country.
