We celebrate songs that make you wanna get up and dance. Boogie Nights! Dancing Queen! Dance the Night Away! Sway! Which 10 songs top the list? It just so happens that Thursday 29th April 2021 is International Dance Day. Join us for this Three Chord Thursday at 3 pm EDT. Bring your dancing shoes, hook up your ukulele straps so you can stand up and DANCE!
We always start promptly at 3 pm with a warm-up, followed by our sunglasses ritual, line-up, and up to ten songs performed by volunteers who request to perform beforehand. We record and edit our song sessions to review, learn, remember, and share with the community. If you don’t have the Zoom info, be sure to register in advance and to get on the mailing list. Join our new public Facebook Group to get the latest and greatest.
Don’t Forget Your Sunglasses!
and your dancing shoes
