C is for Contradance

I love Contradance. It's just amazingly fun, energetic, and it's free from the many rules and constraints that most dances have. You don't need to bring a partner, in fact if you do bring one you'll only dance with them a few times in the night.
In Lansing we have a contradance roughly 2 times a month.
The first Saturday is hosted by Ten Pound Fiddle
The third Saturday is hosted by Looking Glass Arts Both of those sites have good articles explaining what exactly contradance is. However the best way to find out is just to go!
The next Lansing Contradance is the 3rd Saturday in September.
I also found a video from a dance this spring, I'm not in it, but Lynn is!

Priscilla:

I used to contradance in a former life. You're right--it was fun!

(Psst ... where is the video of the dance from spring? I couldn't find it through the links.)

Patricia:

We tried Contradance once and loved it. I hope to dance again soon. In the winter when its cold.

Liz:

I've never had an opportunity to contradance, but took part in a folk dance group in college, many similar moves and steps. I miss that so much.
