The zoom song swap is a place for folks to come together and share songs, community, and keep the live singing tradition thriving. While we have been getting together on zoom, the 4th Tuesday BFMS songswap has become transcontinental and international with participants from west, farther west, and north and northwest across the border. You can drop in on the zoom and meet (and hear / sing with) some nice folks we 're not likely to meet in person!
Saturday, June 27 2026 Flatfooting workshop with Becky Hill Dancing is a great way to participate in old-time music! In this workshop we will explore the Appalachian percussive dance forms of flatfooting and clogging and its relationship to string band music. The goal is to give you the tools to dance at a square dance, jam session or in your kitchen. In addition to the basics, we will focus on musicality, improvisation, and what it means to dance the tune. This class will accommodate all levels, come as you are. No prior experience is necessary. Leather-bottomed or smooth-soled shoes are suggested.
Admission: $15 advance, $20 day-of.
Location: Lovely Lane United Methodist Church in Charles Village, 2200 St. Paul Street, Baltimore
