Cumberland Community Dance is putting on an evening of square dancing from 5–7 p.m., Friday, Jan. 2, 2026, at the old gym in the Littell-Partin Center in Tracy City, located at 14399 Hwy 41.

Open to all ages and experience levels, the evening will include traditional dancing such as square dance and contra dance styles along with live old-time music from The Stones River Reelers. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or a complete beginner, everyone is encouraged to join in the fun. No partner is required. A live caller will guide dancers through every step.

There will also be a cakewalk which, for $10, will give dancers the opportunity to take home a cake or homemade baked good. If you are interested in donating a baked good to the cakewalk please contact <cumberlandcommunitydance@gmail.com>.

Attendees are encouraged to make a donation of $5-10 to help support Cumberland Community Dance. This event is made possible with support by Grundy Area Arts Council. Refreshments and snacks will be provided.

Please come out and help Cumberland Community Dance in their mission to keep the ever-evolving, living tradition of Southern Appalachian music and dance alive.
