Contra Dancing
Contra is a community dance with a caller explaining the moves of each dance.  It’s a great way to get started with dancing.  No partner is required.

Wear comfortable shoes with a low heel.  Leather soles are preferred.  Be prepared for lots of movement.

Waltzing
Waltzing is a couples dance with a standard step.  Feel free to come alone or with a partner.  I think this is one of the easier dances to learn as a couple.

English Country Dance
English Country Dance is a form of traditional social dance: some dances date back to the 1600s, and others were recently composed. It is a precursor to Contra Dancing, and has in common a focus on community and connection. 
The music includes a wide variety of rhythms and tempos, making for dances that can be energetic, boisterous, elegant or stately.
