Enjoy dancing if you are moved, or just enjoy chatting with your friends or enjoying good music. The program of contra and ECD (and a free waltz or two) is selected by the caller to be easy and satisfying with one or two people. If you'd like to warm up with 20 minutes of tai chi, arrive at 7:10 for a session with Cis Hinkle.
New! We encourage you to stay with us after the dance as we go around the circle and share the highlight of our week!
Don't forget, you can always turn off your camera and dance like no one's. watching! Or just enjoy chat and good music if you don't want to dance. We'd love to see you!
Doors open at 7:00 Eastern for a Zoom lesson for those who would like it and social time for those who’ve done it before. Be sure to clear out some dance space in your house, charge your device, and come on down (virtually, of course) to enjoy this dance and community event. Tai chi starts at 7:10 and dancing starts at 7:30 with the last waltz at about 8:45, and the hall will remain open for another 15 minutes for chitchat and farewells. Note: Atlanta DistDance uses gender-free calling.
