Contra Dance for All: An Introduction
Arthur L. Anger - Retired Staff, Ann B. Cowan
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)
Prereq: none

Join us for a Swing--and other figures--with partners in sets.

This is modernized American roots dance using easy walking steps to exciting, jazzy, LIVE New-England music.

Dance with one partner (for each set) and other couples, then change. A 'Caller' teaches by 'walk-through' and prompts you during the dance, making it accessible to ALL.

Come alone or bring friends!

Website lists later Tuesdays in semester!
