Country-Western at Glen Echo, June 21

We’ll be at the Glen Echo Bumper Car Pavilion on Saturday, June 21.

Country Western Dancing 6/21, Bumper Car Pavilion Glen Echo, $10 admission. Alex teachers, Pam deejays

Alex is teaching the line dance “Dem Jeans”. The lesson begins at 7:00 pm. At 8, Pam will play three hours of your favorite music for open dancing. Our dance angels will take anyone on the floor who is learning or needs a partner, so no experience is necessary. We ask for $10 at the entrance.

Food and alcohol are available at the Ballroom Café, which provides all food concession sales in the park. Public parking is available in the main parking lot off Oxford Road. There are picnic tables adjacent to the pavilion so you can also pack a picnic. You cannot bring alcohol into the park. Bring your family and friends.

If you attend, please follow dance etiquette so that everyone can have the best and safest dance experience: follow the line of dance (counter clockwise): no drinks on the dance floor; slower dancers in the middle; don’t stand on the dance floor; dance what the deejay calls; if you don’t know a line dance, do not get in the way of those who do; do not touch anyone in a manner that they might consider inappropriate.

You also agree to follow Glen Echo’s code of conduct available at https://glenechopark.org/…/default/files/CodeOfConduct.pdf
Glen Echo will try to accommodate advance requests from individuals who would prefer not to be recorded at its locations, but cannot guarantee it.
