If you would like to be in the footage, honor these wardrobe requests to evoke the old-time feel, but no one will be turned away for lack of costuming:

-NO T-shirts, tank tops, logos or sneakers
-WOMEN: full skirts or dresses, cowboy boots or flats
-MEN: slacks, jeans & button down shirts, cowboy boots or generic shoes, vests, scarves, suspenders where possible

From INCA, the Production Company: Ives suggests a Barndance in the music of his Holidays Symphony, and while we’re not pretending that this dance is happening in the early 1900s, we hope the mood of the dance will bring to mind that bygone era. To that end we strongly urge you to dress in “timeless” attire – In our documentary we will feature those dancers who are dressed in classic barn dance clothes.
