We dance on a large, high-ceilinged social hall with a wood floor. The hall is heated in the winter and air-conditioned in the summer, and we also have a lot of fans to keep air circulating.
Attendance varies from 40-55 dancers; 60% women, 40% men. Average age about 50; age range from mid-20s to late-80s.
Very wide range of musical and dance tastes. About 60% is Eastern European/Middle Eastern, but that’s sprinkled liberally with Contra dances, Scottish country dances, Country-Western line dances, Japanese, French Canadian, Russian, etc. Definitely no dance purists. 75% non-partner dances. Lots of easy dancers and mixers when beginning dancers are there. This group is very friendly, kind, and helpful to beginners.
