  • Mar 21 Saturday

    Louisiana Byways presents the Cajun Country Revival at the Foundry Theater

    First Presbyterian Church of Yellow Springs
    07:00 PM - 09:00 PM on Sat, 21 Mar 2026

    WYSO Presents a Cajun dance party with The Cajun Country Revival featuring members of the Red Stick Ramblers and Foghorn String Band

    Come out and experience authentic Cajun Dancehall music at its finest, featuring Louisiana natives Jesse Legé (of Bayou Brew), Linzay Young and Joel Savoy (founding members of the Red Stick Ramblers) along with Sammy Lind and Nadine Landry (of the Foghorn String Band).

    Come and hear the accordion and fiddles pouring out melodies as hot as a ladle of sauce piquante while guitar and bass lay down the driving beats that will test the structural integrity of the dance floor. Two-steps, waltzes, and French blues, with a dash of Honky Tonk sprinkled in now and then mean that this music is made for dancing — but it sounds great to boot. So throw on your boots, or whatever shoes you want to boot scoot in and get ready for a shot of Cajun joie de vivre from some of this generation’s most road-tested and genuine purveyors of American roots music from the Louisiana and Old-Time musical traditions. These folks have brought joy and jubilation to feet and ears the world over. Don’t miss this chance to see them live in Yellow Springs!

    As an extra special treat, a multi-week session of dance lessons in two step and waltz will precede the event, taught by Sharon Leahy. Information and registration on the ‘It’s Tuesday, Let’s Dance!’ series can be found here:  https://antiochcollege.edu/event/mad-river-theater-works-presents-its-tuesday-lets-dance-5/

No experience is necessary, all ages are welcome and you don’t need to bring a partner. The caller teaches all dances before they start. Live music at every dance. 
    7:00 PM – Free lesson, all encouraged to come early
    7:30 – 10:30 PM – Contra dancing

    What is contra dancing?  Taken from: caldancecoop.org/resources/what-is-contra-dancing/ which has more details and videos
    Contra dance differs from Square dance in that Contra dance is done in lines rather than in a 4-couple square.   Many of the terms are the same in both Contra and Square dancing, so if you remember any of the terms from old school days or previous occasions, you’re already halfway there.   Now and then, a Contra dance caller may even call a Square dance or two during the evening’s dance.

    Footwork in Contra dancing is very simple.   Generally it’s just a walking step to the music.

    NO DANCE IN DECEMBER
