HEALTH POLICY: Masks welcome and optional. Please stay home if you are sick!
A TIP FOR NEWCOMERS: Don't dance with another newbie! Ask an experienced dancer to show you around. Anyone can ask anyone to dance. It is customary to ask a different person for each dance. By the end of the evening, you will have danced with everyone in the room, and you will see why contra dance is so much fun. : )
SNACKS! Our dance community takes turns bringing finger-food snacks to each dance. Please consider bringing something to contribute to the snack table at the back of the hall.
