Swing Your Partner at Decatur Recreaton Center
February 7, 2018 1 Comment
The Chattahoochee Contra Dancers are now dancing at Decatur Recreation Center!
Dances are held from 8:00 to 10:30 p.m. every Friday night. New dancers are encouraged to attend one or more of the Beginners Lessons which start promptly at 7:30 pm. New dancers will be ‘Contra Dancing’ by their first dance starting at 8:00 pm.
There are two or more ‘Walk Thrus’ on each dance, so all dancers will be familiarized with the dance before dancing with the music. You do not need to bring a partner as everyone comes to dance. Just ask others to dance and most say ‘I’d love to dance’ or something similar around 90% of the time. It is best to wear comfortable loose fitting clothes and soft sole shoes. No high heels.
A different Caller and a different LIVE Band every Friday so there is a variety of dance and music from week to week. Cost is $10 and $5 for students with IDs. In addition to dancing several Contra Dances at the Friday dance, there is a mixer dance early in the evening where everyone essentially dances with everyone else, a square dance on occasion and one or two waltzes later in the evening.
