PLAYSHOP

August 22-24, 2025: International Folk Dance Weekend
DANCE THE WEEKEND 
AWAY WITH Catherine Rudin

August 22-24, 2025

 

NEW LOCATION!


Montreat Conference Center

401 Assembly Drive Montreat, NC 28757

Learn, dance, socialize, and relax in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.

 

Mountain Playshop is a regional dance weekend that attracts dancers from throughout North Carolina and nearby states to socialize, dance, relax, and - you never know - to maybe learn a dance or two.  The dance hall at Montreat Conference Center is a short walk on a level, smooth road from lodging and has water and bathrooms.  Rooms will be available at the Assembly Inn and at the Glen Rock Inn.  Glenn Rock has a kitchen and dining room for our catered meals.  (https://montreat.org)

 

For over 30 years, Mountain Playshop has provided both a forum for dancers to learn new material from regional and professional teachers while also offering a beautiful destination for dancers to simply get together with friends for the weekend - partying, dancing, sharing meals, reviewing dances and just relaxing in the shadow of the Smoky Mountains. This year is no different.
