NOTE: Out of an abundance of caution, due to the COVID-19 outbreak in Florida, the Gainesville Oldtime Dance Society has very reluctantly decided to CANCEL its next three dance events. Check back for updates. We hope to see you soon!
The Kumquats are back for another engagement with Alice Raibourn calling for us her distinctive and challenging contra dances. So get ready to kick up your heels Saturday March 21, 2020 from 6:45-10 pm.
The Kumquats are:
