NEW TO CONTRA?
If you can walk, you can dance. The caller for the evening walks everyone through each dance before the music is added. It’s all for fun, interaction, exercise and enjoyment.
Beginners are encouraged to come at 6:30 to get oriented and to try out parts of the dance ahead of time.
- Beginners are always welcome!
- There is no fancy footwork.
- No one has to lead a partner.
- You don’t need to bring a partner.
Recommendations:
- Please bring soft-soled shoes to help preserve the floor – it makes dancing more comfortable, too.
- Dancing with more experienced dancers will help you pick it up more quickly.
- Anyone can ask anyone else to dance.
- Bring water and wear cool clothing.
- Be prepared to perspire – contra is great exercise!
