Welcome to Knoxville Music and Dance!

Knoxville Music and Dance is your source for exciting music and dance events and entertainment in Knoxville, TN. After becoming involved in music and dance in the

Raleigh, NC area the summer of 2005, David Valentine moved to East Tennessee in 

2007 and became involved in the Knoxville Music and Dance scene. What started as

Greater East Tennessee Dance or (GetDanceNow) in late summer 2008, has now expanded into a leading resource for Music & Dance events in Knoxville.

The mission of Knoxville Music and Dance is to improve the quality and quantity of

music and dance events here in Knoxville and the surrounding area. We want to

promote the growth of all styles and forms of dancing, while at the same time, providing

the community with a fun, friendly and social atmosphere they will enjoy and want to be

a part of. We support educational programs among the public about the healthful

aspects of recreational dancing. We believe there are many physical, mental and social

benefits to dancing and these benefits have a positive impact on those of all ages and capabilities.

Not a dance studio, but certainly encouraging others to learn, Knoxville Music and

Dance is about bringing people together in different places with different events

designed for people to meet and socialize. We present music and dance through a host

of venues in and around the Knoxville area. We will work closely with local community

organizations like the Kerbela Shriners and others throughout the area to raise

awareness and engage the public about music and dance. We are interested in

promoting a number of social events and are always looking for new outlets and

interests.

We welcome local dancers, out-of-towners and newcomers alike to participate in our

numerous events. We encourage all of those involved in helping shape the direction

and activities of Knoxville Music and Dance. We plan to have several events of varying

sizes and entertainment in and around the Knoxville area. We are here to help you find

the latest information about upcoming events in the Knoxville area, and the events

Knoxville Music and Dance itself promotes.
