Dance instruction for beginners begins at 2 PM, followed by dancing at 2:30 PM (https://www.facebook.com/groups/ardencontra/). Contra dance is for everyone! We will teach you. Come alone, with a partner or friends. No fancy footwork (or footwear) needed. The JAES make some pretty fine dance music that’s sure to keep our feet moving all day long.
