glbtq contra dances!
We don't normally do this
with posted events, but I think for Contra Dancing, we need a little
tutorial. The following is from one of the organizers:
WHAT IS CONTRA DANCE?
Contra is New England-style barn dance done in two long lines to
LIVE Celtic-infused music. It's lots of fun, easy-to-learn and
there's no fancy footwork. Every dance is taught from scratch and a
caller prompts you throughout. No partner is needed. Queer Contra is
gender-role-free, so dance with whomever you want.

Can't
We All Just Dance Together?
Yes, I know, guys: we all fear what's different. But maybe it's
worth a try, it's just a little bit of live music and dancing ... so
do something different for once and check it out! It definitely
sounds like a new way to have fun. (Oh, and by the way, Oprah says you
really should be getting your 3x/week of exercise, so you
really have no excuse not to.)
