A night of contra and swing dance with the live band, The Contradictions!
Why choose? This talented band is comfortable in both genres, and so Hands Four Dancers of Ithaca and the Ithaca Swing Dance Network have decided to join forces to offer an evening of BOTH!
Contra caller Nancy Spero and swing dance instructor Cindy Overstreet will lead separate beginners’ workshops in each style from 7:00 to 7:30, followed by an evening dance that will feature a mix of both. Plus, at the break Cindy will teach some “cool moves”, and Lou Church will coach new contra dancers on technique.
Expand your horizons, meet new folks, and enjoy an evening of dancing!
There are 2 entrances to the gym, and there will be signs pointing the way. There are 2 parking lots and both are fine to park in. There are shoe cleaning stations at both entrances, there’s carpet to wipe shoes on before stepping on the gym floor, plus chairs at both for changing into dance shoes. Snacks are provided, and there’s a drinking fountain/water bottle filler, so bring a water bottle.
