Join us for a lively evening of social dancing to live music sponsored by the Orlando Contra Dance! Caller (teacher): **Katie Zanders** (Tampa) - Calling is gender-neutral. Live band: **Stepping Stones** (Space Coast): Robin Osgood – fiddle Norman Rodham – guitar and bodhran Intermediate Lesson theme: Demystifying Contra Corners Contra corners is the hardest move in contra dancing, so much so that we've rarely seen it at our dance. Yet it's just four consecutive allemandes. How hard can that be?? This workshop breaks it down and makes it easy! Whether you've never heard of it or you're an old hand, come at 7 and get cornered. Yes, we'll be seeing some of these in the second half of tonight's dance! This event is open to everyone looking to make new friends and enjoy the vibrant community of Orlando. Whether you are a seasoned contra expert or entirely new to dancing, our inclusive and welcoming atmosphere will have you twirling and swinging in no time. No partner? No problem! We encourage singles to join in the fun and meet fellow dance enthusiasts. Our dance calling is gender-neutral. We use Facebook, Instagram, Meetup, and many other media to invite new dancers. Typical attendance is 20+, including about 5 new dancers. Don't worry if you only see a few people interested here. You'll be in good company. Join us at the Winter Park Ballroom Dance Co., just 15 minutes from UCF and 100 yards east of Jeremiah's Italian Ice. Admission is $15. Students and job seekers are FREE! If it's your second contra ever: FREE! Contra dance is great exercise and loads of fun besides, so bring a water bottle and dress for cardio. This is an alcohol-free event.
