Dances start easy and get more challenging as the evening progresses. BEGINNERS SHOULD COME FOR THE LESSON at 7pm. All dances in the beginner session are taught.
Intermediate lesson topic: Swinging with Zing!
SECOND-TIMERS, PLEASE COME at 7PM!
Learn a well balanced, stable, comfortable swing, as well as how to communicate with your partner to keep both of you safe and having the maximum possible fun! If we have time, we'll throw in a few variations, too.
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.

What to wear? 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.
Starting at 9, the dance level increases. If these dances are a bit more than you're ready for, you're welcome to just listen and enjoy the music and fellowship of the dance community, and to join us for ice cream afterwards. Don't worry, you'll be dancing in the second half soon enough! Our free Intermediate Lesson will help you get there.
