Contra Dance for All

Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)
Prereq: none
Join us for two evenings of Contra Dance, a traditional American form of
folk dancing, directed by a caller and accompanied by exciting live
music. We'll make it especially accessible to beginners for IAP.
Contra Dancing uses easy-to-learn walking steps. You dance with a partner,
changing partners each dance, in a line of couples called a 'set' and
interacting with your partner and all the other couples. A caller first
explains each dance in a 'walk-through' and then continues to prompt you
during the dance.
No partner is needed. Come by your self or bring friends!
Light refreshments served at the break halfway through.
These dances are part of a continuing series of dances on the Second and
Fourth Tuesday of every month, so you can continue to enjoy them once you're
hooked.
