Baton Rouge Monthly Contra Dance
St. Alban's Chapel Highland Road at Dalrymple, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70803
Contra dance has been around since the American Revolution—it's similar to square dancing, with simple, fun steps performed in a line that flows in different directions so that everyone has an opportunity to dance with new partners. Each month, a dance is held at common hall in St. Alban's Chapel on LSU's campus, accompanied by live music and a caller explaining the steps to the dance. Couples and singles are all welcome, as partners will change for each dance. Newcomer orientation begins at 3:45 pm, and the dance is from 4 pm–6:30 pm. Enter at the rear, and wear comfortable shoes with smooth soles and loose clothing. Don't forget to bring water. $7 per person per class, free for first-timers. louisianacontrasandsquares.com.
