Great turn-out, great music and calling, and hopes are high that this will become a regular event in the Community Center gym – on first-Saturday nights every month. Due to scheduling conflicts and gym-floor renovations, the dances won’t start up again until February but after that, it should be a regular event. Â A natural for Greenbelt.
For newbies to contra dancing, it’s easier than just about anything, using a simple walking step. Â Every dance is preceded by a walk-through, and even after the music starts, the caller keeps giving instruction. Also, notice how couples proceed down or up the hall to dance with another couple every few minutes? Â So each dance is a mixer. Â Very social.
