The Lake City Contra Dance in Seattle, WA
Thursday nights at the Seattle Latvian Center
Contra dancing features dynamic LIVE music, energetic dancing, friendly camaraderie, and a strong sense of community. It is enjoying great popularity, with the wellsprings of traditional dances and tunes enriched by exciting new compositions and talented young musicians.
People take partners and form lines (or circles or square sets). The dances have simple moves in a repeating pattern that fits the repeating pattern of the music, and the caller “walks through” each dance before the music starts. Each dance lasts about 7-8 minutes.
No previous dance experience is necessary. Come alone or with a partner; typically people change partners for each dance.
There is a FREE introductory session at 7:00 pm, and free admission for first-time contra dancers.
