It’s time again for a bit of dancing for a green cause. The Davidson College Environmental Action Coalition on Friday will host the annual “Green Ball,” a contra dance to benefit the Davidson Lands Conservancy.
The Green Ball runs from 7:30-10:30pm Friday in the Davidson College Lilly Family Gallery.
No contra-dance experience necessary. Caller Dean Snipes will lead you through the steps, with music by The Sons of the Full Moon. They’ll also have snacks. Tickets available online at http://greenball2013.eventbrite.com for $10; $12 at the door.
