DC Rawhides at The Wharf

There’s going to be a country-western night at The Wharf on DC’s Southwest Waterfront, open to the public, on Friday, June 10, and the Rawhides will be in attendance! The evening kicks off at 7, when we’ll be giving a line dance lesson and a two-step tutorial. That will be followed by two-stepping to music by the Wil Gravatt Band.

This free event will run until 9, and all are welcome. Come for the dancing, come for the live music, or come to watch. See you there?

Future Dances! And a Note About Masks

The November 12 and November 26 (“Turkey Blahs Blaster”) dances will be the last of 2021. We will soon be sharing dates for dances in 2022, every other Friday, from January into the spring!

When planning to attend a Hooked on Country event, remember that DC currently has a mask mandate. Masks must be worn inside venues unless one is actively eating or drinking. We appreciate your cooperation!
