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!
