Live music at every dance. 7:00 PM – Free lesson, all encouraged to come early7:30 – 10:30 PM – Contra dancing
What is contra dancing? Taken from: caldancecoop.org/resources/what-is-contra-dancing/ which has more details and videosContra dance differs from Square dance in that Contra dance is done in lines rather than in a 4-couple square. Many of the terms are the same in both Contra and Square dancing, so if you remember any of the terms from old school days or previous occasions, you’re already halfway there. Now and then, a Contra dance caller may even call a Square dance or two during the evening’s dance.
Footwork in Contra dancing is very simple. Generally it’s just a walking step to the music.
NO DANCE IN DECEMBER
