Knoxville Social Dance Calendar 3/9-3/15

The sun is up later, the temperatures are warmer, and the rain is bringing new life to a winter-worn Knoxville. And, looking at this week's calendar, it continues to be a wonderful time to be a dance-inclined individual in Knoxville.

Here's our calendar of socialization-friendly dance events for this week. Of note, Saturday is STACKED with St. Patrick's Day parties. And on Sunday, there are a few more intensive dance classes. If you've been looking to dive deep, check those out.

We've also included something different- a dance-related film screening happening on Sunday! Perfect for all you dance nerds ;)
