We’re going to put a spell on you! And kiddies beware…we have three of the wildest witches ever at the Capitol Theatre on October 4th for our next Family Movie Night Series installment. Join us if you dare for the Halloween classic, Hocus Pocus.

Since 1993, Halloween hasn’t been the same. It is safe to say, that if you don’t watch Hocus Pocus in October, then you really didn’t celebrate Halloween. Did you? We encourage our ghouls, goblins, and witches – of ALL ages – to dress up for the show!

The Capitol Theatre will have Kickin’ True BBQ food truck under the marquee for a quick and easy dinner with the family from 5 – 6:30. Concessions will also be available throughout the movie. Doors open at 5:30, and the movie begins at 6:30.

Whether you’re a zombie, an immortal and talking cat, or just an unlucky trick-or-treater, you can help us stop the Sanderson sisters at the Capitol Theatre!

This year, Eliada will maintain some beloved attractions including the tractor ride, which now drives all the way around the Corn Maze, jumping pillow, corn kernel sand box, spider web climber, tube slides, and corn cannons.

This Friday during the DADA 1st Friday Gallery Hop, the Mast Store in Winston-Salem is shining a spotlight on the Old Salem Museums & Gardens and its upcoming lantern tours.

In the early years of Salem, a night watchman wandered the streets to keep the community safe. Devastating fires, medical emergencies, and unexplained happenings – he saw it all. Grab a lantern and hear the tales of yore as a night watchman guides you through the streets of Old Salem this Halloween.

Learn about this event and others that immerse visitors in memorable experiences at Old Salem.

We’re bringing back our holiday hit from 2016 for another run – and we’re hoping you’ll want to be a part of it! Director Lori Hilliard seeks a large cast of people of all ages for this sweet holiday show! The whole family can audition for this show!

About Snowbound: It’s Christmas Eve in 1955 at a small town train depot where the snowy weather has caused some delays. Over the course of the evening, strangers become friends, friends become family, and the warmth of human connection is deepened through stories and songs. Though the weather outside is frightful, inside the depot it’s delightful as memories of Christmases past are shared. Written by local storyteller and musician Tom Godleski and performed with original music and traditional songs by local bluegrass musicians.

CLASSES
7pm: Continuing Class: Intermediate Partner Charleston w/ Sparrow & Jean

We will be working on side by side variations for the first two weeks, tandem entrances, exits, and variations for weeks 3 and 4, and for the 5th week of October we will be doing a special class on switching and stealing- super useful for jams and social dancing!

“Continuing” classes are for those dancers who have cemented the basics of the dance being featured that specific month. This includes knowing (and being able to execute cleanly and consistently) basic footwork and lead/follow skills for that dance. Some continuing classes may require no advance knowledge of a dance. This will be noted in the the class description.
*******************

8 pm: Core Class: Intro to 8-count Lindy Hop w/ Sparrow & Keith

Learn the foundations of the 8 count Lindy Hop, the high energy dance from Harlem that swept the nation and then the globe. Starting from the very beginning, breaking down the steps and rhythms in easy to understand ways, Keith and Sparrow will get ya on the dance floor and having fun in no time. No partner required and drop in friendly, though of course you’ll learn the most if you start at the beginning of the month and stay till the end!

“Core” lessons stress the fundamentals of swing dancing for beginning dancers. Lessons rotate monthly to focus on a different kind of swing dance (6 Count Lindy, 8 Count Lindy, Charleston, Balboa, etc.). Because good fundamentals are hard to develop in one month, we recommend repeating Core lessons (on the same topic) to help develop the solid foundation you’ll need in continuing classes. Core lessons are also great for intermediate and advanced dancers who want to “get back to basics” or learn a different dancing role (lead vs. follow).
*************************

GIFT CERTIFICATES
Do you want to buy a gift certificate for our classes as a gift, or to pre-pay for a block of classes for yourself? You can purchase gift certificates at the door at our weekly dance! They are $40 for a block of 4, and a great way to dive into the fun world of dance.
