A Century of Street Dances in Hendersonville<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s a balmy Saturday evening and Hendersonville is alive with the twangy sound of bluegrass. In a parking lot off of South Main Street, residents young and old are do-si-doing as members of The Jeter Mountain Band pluck banjo strings and long-time caller Walt Puckett belts out directions in his honey-sweet drawl.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been calling for 50 years and square dancing for even longer,\u201d says Puckett.<\/p>\n

Something of a local legend, Puckett knows a thing or two about the Hendersonville Street Dances. A cornerstone of Apple Country culture, the much anticipated summertime gatherings feature mountain music, clogging demonstrations and square dancing.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s family-friendly fun,\u201d says Puckett, who attended his first Street Dance in the 1950s when he was a third grader at Rosa Edwards School. Thirty years later, he assumed the role of caller. \u201cPeople of all ages look forward to the event,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

But that wasn\u2019t always the case. Back in 1918, when Dr. Lucius B. Morse proposed inviting military bands to provide musical entertainment downtown, folks protested.<\/p>\n

According to a March 1918 edition of the French Broad Hustler<\/em>, Morse\u2019s idea \u201cdid not find very warm endorsement in church circles\u2026but incurred righteous indignation.\u201d The newspaper goes on to describe how several religious groups \u201cassaulted the idea\u201d on grounds of salaciousness.<\/p>\n

Unperturbed by the condemnations, Morse continued advocating for the idea. As the owner and developer of Chimney Rock Park, he knew regular dances would encourage the 60,000-some soldiers training at Camp Wadsworth and Camp Sevier in South Carolina to \u201cswarm the mountains.\u201d He believed other sojourners would also appreciate the \u201cnew thrill.\u201d<\/p>\n

Equally sold on the prospect of tourism dollars, the Board of Trade\u2014today\u2019s Hendersonville Chamber of Commerce\u2014decided to sponsor the dances that summer.<\/p>\n

Despite initial resistance, the social function quickly exploded in popularity, inspiring several local dance troupes to form. Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Carl Sandburg even sponsored a group known as the Connemara Square Dance Team. In 1948, the team traveled by bus to the Chicago Railroad Fair with a banner that read: \u201cFrom Hendersonville, N.C.\u2014The Dancingest Town in America.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though Hendersonville has since outgrown its status as a town, the square-dancing tradition endures, says Michelle Owens, executive director of the Henderson County Tourism Development Authority.<\/p>\n

\u201cTime moves ever forward, but every summer one constant has been Hendersonville\u2019s Street Dances\u2014a mountain moment that brings together newcomers and long-timers alike to stop, hear the fiddler play and join the caller\u2019s dance,\u201d says Owens. \u201cIt\u2019s an Appalachian tradition like no other.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s thanks, in part, to Puckett\u2019s legacy as the event\u2019s emcee. \u201cI try to keep the dances simple and fun,\u201d he notes. \u201cAnyone who wants to get up and dance is welcome to.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Hendersonville Street Dances happen Saturday, August 12 and 19, 7\u20139 p.m. in the Hendersonville Welcome Center parking lot (201 South Main Street). Admission is free. For more information, see VisitHendersonvilleNC.org<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
