Cottonwood AZ (January 10, 2020) – Warm up your toes at the Cottonwood Contra Dance, January 18th in the Clemenceau gymnasium, 1 N. Willard St. in Cottonwood. Easy Squeezy, a trio from Prescott headed up by Steve Elliot will play the tunes while Kari Usher calls the dances.
The half hour lesson is at 6:30 PM with dancing until 10 PM. You don’t need a partner OR experience—all dances are taught and called. If you can walk, you can contra!
Donation is $10/dancer, $7/students; all Cottonwood-Oak Creek students are free with a paid adult.
Contra dance has some similarities to square dancing and English and Scottish folk dancing; you can see examples on Youtube. Wear comfortable shoes and clothes you can move in. Bring a snack to share if possible.
