Music from the Ozarks is coming to Columbia this weekend!  The legendary Kim Lansford from Galena, MO, will be joined by Ozarks fiddler Nathan McAlister and Columbia banjoist Jim Ruth at our dance this Friday, May 1, 2015.

Claire Baffaut and Paula McFarling, members of the Columbia Callers’ Collective, will lead the dances.

The dance starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Ballroom Academy of Columbia, 3910 Peachtree Drive. Admission is $8 for the public, $5 for students and ages 16-25, and free for children 15 and under.  A beginner’s lesson starts at 7:00 p.m.

MMTD’s dances are fun, community-oriented events that do not require prior dance experience. Individuals of all ages are welcome, as well as couples and groups. No partner needed. Every dance is taught and called throughout the evening to live music.

Please wear soft-soled or leather soled shoes to preserve the floor–no spike heels or cowboy boots (carry-in appropriate dance shoes as needed.)
