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.

EVEN MORE FROM THE LCFD.ORG WEBSITE:
- Contra Dancing 101 (What I am getting myself into?)
- "Welcome to Gender-Free Dancing!"
- 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.)
