Fais Do-Do!
• One to One Studio
• $7; $10 per couple

With the weather warming, I’ve experienced a renewed desire to kick off my shoes and be footloose and fancy-free. For Jacksonians like myself looking for the appropriate venue to do just that, One To One Studio has answered the demand in the form of a Cajun dance party. From the French meaning “go to sleep,” fais do-dos are traditionally known as all-night-long, dance-’til-you-drop social gatherings with lively music. With bands including The Scramblers, The Dixie Nationals, The Vrai Boys and The Hot Tamales, this evening promises to be a two-steppin’, boogying good time.
