# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Troy Queer Contra - March 28
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 28 Mar, 2026 at 02:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Come dance to live music in queer community! Contra is very beginner-friendly - no partner or experience needed!

This month's dance features the music of Ben Hemmendinger and Silas Hamilton, and calling by Julian Blechner. The band and caller will be masking off-stage, and any performers not masked onstage will have taken Metrix covid tests. Role terms are Larks and Robins.
There will be an intro lesson at 2:00, and the dance will be from 2:30-5:30.

TQC is hosted at Berith Sholom in Troy, NY. Please enter via the door on 3rd Street. Map apps may try to send you to the cemetery, so make sure you are aiming for the intersection of 3rd and Division.
Admission is a sliding scale from $10-$20, but nobody will be turned away for lack of funds. Cash strongly preferred; venmo available.

N95 masks or similar are required to be worn while inside. There will be some available at the door if needed. If you are coughing, have a fever, or otherwise feel under the weather, please skip this one and we hope to see you next time!

Please bring clean, soft-soled shoes (i.e., sneakers that don't leave scuff marks) to protect the wooden floor. Also please refrain from wearing perfumes, colognes and other highly scented products. All dances are smoke, drug and alcohol free.

We have not formally received permission to park in the lots managed by Russell Sage on Division Street and down the Franklin Street alley, but I haven’t heard of any problems with parking there. There is some street parking, and if you are ok with a bit of a walk, there are parking garages on State Street and 5th Ave.
