SUMMARY:Albany Contra Dance
DESCRIPTION:Qwill Duvall calling  \n\n\n\n\n\nAlbany Contradances are held every second and some fifth Fridays of the month\, September through June\, in the large ballroom of the Albany Elks Lodge\, located at 25 S Allen St\, Albany\, NY. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDancing starts at 8pm\, with a beginner lesson at 7:45pm. Now is a great time to be a beginner! Please share this event with anybody who may be interested\, regardless of experience level! \n\n\n\nContra dancing has its roots in English country dancing\, and may feel familiar to square dancing.  Albany Contra uses the gender-free calling terms Larks and Robins. \n\n\n\nAs we’re living in a world with Covid-19:– Masks are optional– We request that if you have symptoms or have recently been exposed to Covid\, please stay home. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn partnership with the DFO\, we would like to remind all attendees that consent is vital to a safe and inclusive dance experience. Be polite when asking for dances\, gracious if rejected\, and always ask before trying to dip\, lift\, or twirl your partner. If someone at the dance causes you to feel uncomfortable\, please speak with an organizer or Dance Ambassador\, who will be wearing a button. More information can be found at https://www.danceflurry.org/about-us/culture-of-consent/ \n\n\n\nIn our ever-continuing work to welcome more people to the dance floor\, we are implementing a sliding pay scale. Please plan to pay what you comfortably can\, from $8 for those that need extra communal support to $25 for those who are able to give our newly reborn dance a financial boost. \n\n\n\nContact us with any questions or to volunteer at albanycontras@danceflurry.org \n\n\n\nEvents this season  \n\n\n\nSeptember 12th: Melanie Axel-Lute calling for Here on the Hill: Tory Horner (fiddle)\, Annie McDougall (fiddle)\, Rose Powell (guitar) \n\n\n\nOctober 10th: Isaac Banner calling for the Star Charters: Cecilia Vacanti (fiddle)\, Jess Newman (fiddle)\, Mark Price (guitar).
