An evening with contra dances

The Boone Country Dancers host a “Contra Dance” dance event once a month. And this evening is great. At 7:30 p.m. the “caller” gives us a basic introduction to the dance figures. After a good half hour the event really gets going. All dances are briefly explained and then we get started. With live music consisting of fiddle and guitar. And the “caller” - he helps and guides through the dance. Everyone has a great evening. There are many newbies - like me - but also experienced dancers who make it easy to perform the respective dances. Great! After three hours I drive home sweating.
