Contra
Dancing is a participatory and social evening. It is a great
way to exercise
and meet new friends. You don't have to know how to dance,
just arrive at 7:30pm for the beginner session where you will
learn to swing, balance, ladies chain, and right hand star
along with many other figures. In an evening of dancing there
will be many contra dances (parallel lines facing each other),
circle dances, and New England squares. You don't need a partner...there
are always plenty of helpful partners available. Please wear
clean soft-soled shoes to protect the wood floor.
