Billings dancers geared up for Halloween festivities with Witches on Water

Billings, Montana – At Lake Elmo State Park, a joyful crowd took advantage of the autumnal activities and the warm weather.

The second annual Witches on Water was presented by the Magic City Witch Dancers.

On the beach, dancers gave performances.

As prevalent a part of the day as witches on paddle boards and kayaks is dancing.

The dancers chose the warmer weather at an earlier period this year because the event was held in October last year and it was too cold.

No competition or competition exists.

It’s just an opportunity to enjoy yourself at the lake.

The dancers created a Hexenbrut routine in German.

“It means shake your booty, shake your bacon,” said Sara McBride of the Magic City Witch Dancers. “It was a group from Germany that started the main dance that we’re doing and it’s done all over the world.

“We have a total of three dances at this point that we do,” said Larissa McPheeters of the Magic City Witch Dancers. “And we perform. We have all sorts of costumes and hats. It’s just for people to come out and get on the water and dress up and be crazy.”

The dancers will perform many times in the days before Halloween, including at the Harvest Fest, Boo at the Zoo, and the All Hallows Renaissance Festival.
