Contra dancing comes back into the city! ALL are welcome to have a hootin' good time!!
Where: Philadelphia Ethical Society
When: 7:30-10:00, with beginner lesson at 7:00
What: Per Brooklyn Contra: "If swing dancing and square dancing met in a bar, you’d get contra." Extremely beginner friendly, with a supportive community that will be delighted that you're here. Very social, truly an excellent time. Lots of info at
http://www.brooklyncontra.org/
The dance is practically designed for people who "don't know how to dance." No partner or dance experience necessary! Normally these dances are outside of the city, but we're bringing them back in to YOU!
This is the continuation of the center city dance series from the summer of 2024. Future dances are currently targeted for the 4th Saturday of every month.
Notes:
- Be prepared to get hot! This is an active dance, so breathable clothing and comfortable shoes are recommended. If you like twirling, skirts are a great choice!
- Please bring a water bottle!
- Entry price will likely be a sliding scale of $12-$20 (cash and card both accepted). Volunteers get in free, too! (We need door people, help with set-up, help with take-down / cleaning up after, and probably more - any assistance will be appreciated)
Role terms will be Larks and Robins.
Covid policy (abridged): to reduce the risk of transmission, vaccination is strongly encouraged, and masks are optional (but welcomed). There is an opt-in mailing list for exposure notification.
