Ken Larsen’s web site - Dancing

I regularly do contra dancing and swing dancing. 

Contra dancing is a hybrid of line dancing and square dancing.  Like square dancing, a “caller” calls out the moves.  That makes it less intimidating to people who have never danced before.

I belong to the Triangle Country Dancers, a contra dance group, and the Triangle Swing Dance Society.  Both are extremely well organized and precede their dances with a beginner lesson.  Their dances have live bands and are smoke-free and alcohol free.  That appeals to me, because I neither smoke nor drink.
