About this event
A special afternoon dance on New Year's Day, with Christa Torrens calling and live music from Avourneen. The time is being coordinated with a potluck that is followed by a contra dance, so check CFOOTMAD's calendar for the latest details. English Country Dance is one of the main ancestors of Contra Dance, and is similar in many ways; dancers follow the instructions of a caller and interact both with their partners and with the other dancers they encounter along the way. Compared with contra, the figures are sometimes more complex and varied. The pace is a bit more relaxed on average, and many dancers enjoy the opportunity to move with extra elegance and grace, but the atmosphere is still sprightly, informal, and fun. No partner or experience is necessary; all dances are taught. We recommend bringing a water bottle and wearing comfortable, non-marking shoes along with whatever clothing is comfortable to move in.
