Knoxville Social Dance Calendar 5/13 - 5/19

Aaalrighty y’all, we’re back, and this time, with a Wednesday-Tuesday calendar! Testing out to see if this calms a few friction points in the creation process. Thank you all for bearing with the learning curves of this thing 🌀

This week is pretty chill- with a happy handful of DJ dance parties spread out across Thursday to Saturday. And Sunday- a perfect day to mosey from Downtown to South Knoxville via the Gay street bridge! You can go from hip hop in Krutch Park to hip hop at Suttree Landing ❤️‍🔥

DM or comment with any questions, corrections, or suggestions!

Happy adventuring ⚡️
