Cajun & Creole Week 2016 at The Augusta Heritage Center

Andrew Carroll
June 14, 2016

Our staff of Cajun and Creole music instructors keep our students buzzing with excitement in the workshops and pulsing with energy on the pavilion dance floor! Each day starts with a fresh cup of Cajun coffee and a jam session. Classes meet in the morning and afternoon with a lunch break in between. After lunch, everyone gathers for special presentations on Cajun/Creole music and culture. With mini-courses, jam sessions, concerts, dances and a gumbo party, it’s a gala week of nonstop music and dancing. Many have reported this to be the high point of their year!

Tuition paid BEFORE June 1: $450.
Tuition paid AFTER June 1: $490.
