Fun, accessible French and European traditional dances. No experience or partner necessary! A joyous community event for all!
We’ve been really enjoying having a room full of people of all ages– kids included! And we are really grateful that the community developing around this dance is super welcoming, as we often witness more experienced folks reaching out to include the newcomers. If you show up, you’ll be welcomed!
Dances range from beautiful and meditative to raucous and energetic. Even if you’ve never tried anything like this before, come on over! Feel free to sit along the edges and listen and check it out, or join right in on the fun! We’ll teach you everything you need to know, and the crowd has a reputation for being happy and welcoming, eager to draw newcomers into the fun! For the folks who have been showing up regularly to this monthly series, we always include some extra variations or new dances so there’s always something new to look forward to!
Check this video out, and then spread the word! https://youtu.be/Y8OUy5JM6Jw?si=s8-aKotdPEayFcW0
