This is a link to the Zoom meeting.
Enjoy dancing and watching your friends dance, chat and socialize, get some exercise, and enjoy good music. The program of contra and ECD (and a free waltz or two) is selected by the caller to be easy to do and satisfying with one or two people.

If you haven't tried a virtual dance, give it a go. Like live dances, our distdances are social events as much as anything - the chance to connect with other dancers, to be part of a community, to remind ourselves of life pre-isolation and look forward to post-isolation.
