Step (one, two, three) into a world of inclusive dancing with Queer Contra Chicago Saturday, April 20th at 7pm in The Loft at 2U!

Originating from 17th-century European country dancing, contra dance brings pairs together in long lines to move to live folk music. Traditionally, the roles for each pair are referred to as “ladies” and “gents,” with gents being the leaders and ladies being the followers. At Queer Contra, they embrace non-gendered roles, where dancers can be either a "lark" or a "raven" and it's up to each pair to choose who is who and they can switch whenever they want.

Beginners are welcome and encouraged to come for the pre-dance lesson at 6:30pm! Suggested donation of $10 at the door. No one turned away for lack of funds!
