Description:
The Floyd Country store will host an Old Time Country Dance on Saturday, May 19th starting at 7:30 PM with the Whitetop Mountain Band. Get your dancing shoes on and join us for this favorite old time dance tradition.
The Floyd Country Store is famous for old time dancing, and we feel truly honored that some of the great Appalachian old time bands love to play on our stage. One of our regular Saturday Night bands is The Whitetop Mountain Band, a family-based band from the highest mountains of Virginia. Whitetop, Virginia is an area rich in the old time music tradition and this band has done much to preserve the Whitetop region’s style of old time fiddling and banjo picking with their teaching and performances.
When they strike up the music this Saturday night the dance floor will start to hum. There will be flatfooting, clogging, two stepping and some square dances. Get up and join in or just sit back and watch the high energy crowd while you listen to some of the finest heritage mountain music around.
Tickets for the Old Time Country Dance are $8 and are available at the door only.
The Floyd Country Store, home of the Friday Night Jamboree, has been an important part of the Floyd community for a century now. This historical landmark is a destination along “The Crooked Road”, Virginia’s Music heritage trail, and continues to be the meeting place for traditional musicians from the area.
