Spring at Sautee Contra Dance Weekend

Spring at Sautee Contra Dance Weekend returns for its third year at the Sautee Nacoochee Center. Beginning Friday, March 21, through Sunday, March 23, dancers are invited to welcome the spring through 3 days of jubilee! From workshops to swing dance, waltzes and contra, this weekend will be jam packed with joining hands and connecting with fellow dance lovers. Live bands Toss the Possum and The Dog Walkers will bring the melodies while Warren Doyle and Claire Takemori will call the moves. To celebrate Spring at Sautee’s third year, we have partnered with Uhuburg Castle to end the weekend with extravagance. The added “Castle Package” will grant weekend dancers access to a waltz and contra dance held at Uhuburg.
