Banjos + group theory + twirling your partner = FUN!

Contra dancing is a modernized American folk dance, using easy walking steps, set to exciting, LIVE New England and Quebecois folk music.

Dance with a partner and other couples, then change partners. A caller teaches the sequence of moves and prompts you during the dance, making it accessible to all. No experience necessary!

Jan 12: Celtic/New England folk music by Nor'easter
Jan 26: Quebecois folk music by La Banane Enchantée

Come alone or bring friends!

Website lists Tuesdays later in semester.
