Contra dance is a kind of social dance with live music where a caller teaches the figures.  You don't need to come with a partner, and while there is a short lesson before each of our dances it's optional.  Most people learn contra dancing by doing it. It looks like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beOFeIIk4KY You should wear comfortable clothes that you can move easily in.  High heels don't work well.  We'll have water but if you'd like to save cups bringing a water bottle is good.

Bliss Dance is a moving meditation done to passionate world music in a supportive circle of community. The village style dances are fairly simple and accessible, and taught anew every time.
