Charlotte’s Monday night contra’s offer laid back , non-competitive dancing done to live music. Each dance taught briefly so no experience is needed. Patterns resemble a madcap square dance requiring thinking & fast reflexes so all venues are substance free.
No partner is needed as folks generally switch partners at the end of each dance.
An ability to laugh at oneself is useful as even the most tenured dances get going the wrong way now and then.
Never been to a contra dance? Come early, around 7:30 pm, there will be a brief lesson that will have newcomers ready to dance the rest of the night.
Please see web site for details and holiday venue shifts.
Venue is a work in progress. The suspended wood floor is on loan from the Charleston Contra Dancers!
