During this event, we will teach a few of the dances we perform in a low-stress setting. Wear comfortable clothing and dance shoes of any type. Previous dance experience of any kind (contra, ballroom, Zydeco, Swing, clogging, square dancing) is helpful, but not required – you only need a commitment to learning and practice.
