Contra Dance Event – Thank you to all for attending!

On February 6th, 40+ community members participated in an introduction to Contra Dance.  Contra is a simple form of folk dancing, danced to called moves with pairs of people dancing up and down long lines of dancers.

We had a lovely evening dancing to the music provided by the Apple Valley String Band from Monroe, GA and called by Jennie Wakefield from Greenville, SC.   We danced just down the road on the beautiful wood floor of the Mim’s Community Center in Willington.

It was so lovely to hear all the participants laughing and having a good time learning the moves together.

I would like to thank the many volunteers who helped make this a success and the McCormick Arts Council for their support.  – Claire Martin

If you would like to be on a committee to help organize another of these events, please contact Claire Martin at ringerpup@gmail.com with subject line Contra Help.
