What do you like about Contra Dance?
“I like that there’s variety in the steps. I like that they instruct you very thoroughly. And then you have the chance to repetitively practice that step as you go through the entire line, and so I know it well by the end. I love the energy. Everyone’s just joyful. Yeah, That’s it.”
-Nina, a recent new dancer.
