Why contra dance?

*Great live music *High energy; great exercise *Meet people *Fun for all ages *Chem-free; clean, healthy atmosphere *Friendly environment

What should I wear?

The hall is usually kept cool because you generate a lot of heat while dancing. Dress in layers so that you can remove items as you get warmer. Many women (and some men!) like to wear full skirts that flare out when twirling. Shoes should be comfortable and easy to move around in.

What do I need to bring?

*Water bottle *Clean, dry shoes to dance in, although some folks prefer bare feet.
