Montalvo Arts Center Presents "Line Dancing, Two-Step, and Bluegrass"

Montalvo Arts Center kicks off its "Summer Nights Series" with Live Music Dance Parties, three evenings of exceptional live music and fun, accessible dancing lessons. In a series that showcases a 10-piece salsa band, West Coast bluegrass sounds, and Bollywood-inspired dances, attendees are invited to come early (6:30pm) to learn steps, or come later (7:30pm) to enjoy music and dancing.

Dancers will celebrate country and western styles with an evening of "Line Dancing, Two-Step, and Bluegrass." Featuring instructors Micaela Terry and Adam the Dancing Cowboy, attendees are invited to explore line dancing, couple’s country, and the lively string, vocal, and percussive traditions of bluegrass. Line Dancing is a type of non-partnered country western dancing in which a group of dancers line up in a row and follow choreographed patterns of steps to music, while the Two-Step and Cowboy Cha Cha are both popular couples dances ideal for country music. Music of the evening will be performed by The High Water Line, a five-piece bluegrass band of San Francisco Bay Area musicians who have blended their diverse musical tastes and experiences to create a hard-driving West Coast bluegrass sound of their own.
