Everyone is welcome! Partners and dancing experience are not necessary.
There is an optional Beginner's Workshop offered 20 minutes before each dance.
Wear comfortable, non-marking shoes to protect your feet and our floors - a seperate pair of dance shoes works best.
You'll be more comfortable in loose-fitting light-weight clothing.
Each of the dozen or so dance forms during the evening are taught and prompted, except for the waltz and hambo.
Regular contra dance suggested admission donation is $10,
$9 Members and $6 for full-time students with a valid student ID card.
Please note that many dancers are very sensitive to fragrances and body odor and that our dances are fragrance-free events. Dancers are strongly encouraged to shower before each dance event, to wear freshly laundered clothing and to refrain from using any scented products such as perfumes, colognes and scented after-shave liquids or lotions for reasons of both preference and health. Allergic reactions include headaches, sneezing, scratchy throats, watery eyes and a few other symptoms which can ruin the dance experience. Thanks for your consideration!

"day of event" reminders,
notification of last minute changes such as venue changes and event cancellations, and
live updates from the dance floor about attendance, gender balance and number of people not dancing because of a gender imbalance, with possible links to pictures and sounds
