About this event

Yes, the rumors are true! We are so pleased to announce that, after four long years, Bug Stomp is back! And we’ve got an amazing lineup to insure this celebration! Our bands are the legendary Wild Asparagus and Charleston’s very own ContraForce! The callers are just as stellar: George Marshall will be here along with Seth Tepfer.

PBS has been known to sell out fast, so please do not wait to sign up! We cannot wait to welcome back our old friends from far and wide, and to welcome new friends to our Bug Stomp community

Exciting workshops and fresh fruit snacks provided throughout the weekend.

We will also be dancing for the first time at a new venue, which has a beautiful wood floor, a larger dance space and an outdoor courtyard.

Frequently asked questions

Can you help me find a place to stay?

NEW! Charleston Folk has partnered with Wingate by Wyndham Hotel (4701 Saul White Blvd, North Charleston) and they agreed to give us a discounted rate for Bug Stomp weekend.

Can I stay with a local dancer?

As before, some housing will be offered with local dancers, but is not guaranteed. After you register, you will receive information on how to request or offer housing.

Is there any way to get a cheaper ticket?

If you are willing to work a total of 8 hours during the weekend to make this Bug Stomp the best it can be, there are a limited number of $65 Volunteer tickets available. To apply, please contact Kelly Macklin by email at kjpenni@gmail.com or text her at 843-323-9033

Can I buy tickets just for a Friday or Saturday night dance?

Unfortunately, that is not an option. But feel free to come to any of our monthly dances from our Facebook or Charleston Folk website (charlestonfolk.weebly.com)

I signed up for the dance, but now I cannot attend. Do you offer refunds?

So sorry to hear that! You sure are missing out! Our refund policy states we charge a $15 cancellation fee for refunds. After April 15, 2024, we do not offer refunds for any reason. For cancellations, contact us at palmettobugstomp@gmail.com and we will do our best to forge a fair outcome for all.

Is this open to the public? I have a friend who really wants to try contra.

This is a full-weekend, high-level dance geared toward experienced dancers. Beginners will have a much better time at our monthly Friday dances instead: find us on Facebook or the Charleston Folk website to find out more information.
