Contra 102 Workshop: Beyond the Basics

Love contra dancing? Let’s infuse it with even more fun, delightful connection!

In this workshop, we’ll explore the nuances of contra dancing, starting with practices to help us dance more skillfully as individuals, all the way up to community-level skills to help us dance smoothly as a connected whole. You’ll learn and practice general movement concepts as well as contra-dance-specific tips that will give you access to new levels of fun and flow with the music and with the other dancers on the floor.

This workshop is for you if you have contra danced before, want to increase your skills, and/or want to add more flow and connection to your dancing. Experienced dancers are also welcome. Alyssa Adkins will be our workshop leader and Will Cleland will be providing sound. Join us!

Following the workshop we'll gather for a potluck dinner with time for more conversation and community building.

There is no cost to attend thanks to our sponsors: The Montpelier Contra Dance, the Capital City Grange, and Friends of the Capital City Grange Hall.
