Join us Friday, February 9th for a contra dance! Our very own Vicki Morrison will be calling the dances to the lives tunes of the Long Forgotten String Band. Singles, couples, and families alike will enjoy this fun, heart-filled community dance. 💕
Tallahassee community contra dances have resumed in the Senior Center Ballroom on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of each month! Contra dancing is an upbeat, beginner-friendly American folk dance for all ages. It shares many moves with square dancing (such as swing your partner and do-si-do) and is danced in long lines to live music. The bands and callers vary each night. Come alone or bring friends–no partner or experience required. Those new to contra dancing are strongly encouraged to come by 7:15 when a Beginner Lesson will be taught, and as dances are taught in more detail early in the evening. Wear comfortable clothes and flat shoes.
In anticipation of Valentine’s Day we’ll have a chocolate fountain flowing, and dancers are encouraged to bring dippable items to share (fruit, marshmallows, baked goods, etc.). Wear red or pink too if you feel so inclined!
Admission cost: $10 for Adults, $9 Seniors over 50, $6 for Students, Free for Kids under 12
Admission is payable by cash, check, or card at the door. Newcomers get in to your 2nd dance free!
