𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗱
Marni is touring the UK with Contra Sutra (catch them at May Heydays, Alcester, London Barndance, Englefield Green and Halsway Manor Contra Week). Alan plays with Contrasaurus. Vic plays with Bearded Dragons.

𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿
Adam Hughes has been dancing contra in the UK and US for 25 years, and calling contras across the UK for nearly that long. He calls new and traditional dances from across the world with clarity, enthusiasm and a hint of mischief.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮?
Contra dance is community folk dance similar to ceilidh or barn dance, and we will dance to live music! No partner is necessary, and new dancers are especially welcome. Anyone may ask anyone to dance, and everybody is supportive and friendly in enjoying the dance together. You don't need prior experience, mistakes are welcome, and the aim is to have lots of fun!

The caller will teach each dance, then prompt when you dance to the music. You will dance with a partner and another pair of dancers and progress to a new pair each time through the tune, moving up and down the line so you dance with everybody.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 / 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗿?
Bring a water bottle (we have a tap for refills) and wear comfy shoes (preferably not too grippy, no high heels). Avoid perfumes and scents. Swirly skirts are a lot of fun to wear for contra (for people of all genders). No need to bring a partner. Drinking alcohol and smoking are not permitted in our venues.

𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆
Contra dancing is an activity that involves hand-to-hand or arm-to-arm contact and a ‘ballroom hold’ swing. Being physically close to multiple other dancers in an indoor space carries risk of spreading COVID-19.

We ask that all attendees at our dances consider the following risk mitigations:
• not coming to this dance with unexplained respiratory symptoms.
• not coming to this dance if you are feeling unwell for any unexplained reason
• not coming to this dance if you know or suspect you have COVID-19 (or any other illness that may be spread by folk dancing).
• not coming to this dance if government guidelines say you should stay at home.
• testing before dancing - LFTs are easily available for £2 from most supermarkets and pharmacies
• being fully vaccinated - COVID-19 vaccines and boosters reduce the risk of severe illness and may limit spread.

As organisers we will mitigate risk by:
• keeping the room as well ventilated as possible.
• providing facilities for contactless payment (but will also accept cash).

Face coverings have been shown to reduce COVID-19 infections in indoor spaces. However, they are currently not recommended by the WHO for vigorous physical activity. Please respect others’ choices about wearing masks.
