The MIT Folk Dance Club holds contra dances with live folk music! Dancing continues every Tuesday through October, then back to 2-3 Tuesdays per month. You’ll get to twirl your partner and everyone else’s! No experience is necessary and all dances are taught. While contra dancing is fun and high-energy, it uses simple walking steps, so it’s very easy to pick up.
