Useful Information:

• Newcomers are welcome to come at 7pm for an introductory lesson on the basics of contra dancing. No partner is necessary. All dances are taught with a “walk-through” by the caller.
• We no longer require vaccination. Masks are optional.
• All dances at Swingin’ Tern are called to the gender-neutral terms Larks & Robins. Dance whatever role you’re comfortable in.
• We are air-conditioned. We have windows on three sides when we want to let the breeze come in.
• Our dance is two blocks from the Chatham station on the Morris/Essex line out of Penn Station, NYC.
• We welcome contributions of home-baked [or not] goodies to share at the break.
• Please bring your own water bottle. Water bottles may be filled at the kitchen sink.
• Wear comfortable clothing. Contra dancing is aerobic. We prefer you carry in your shoes.
• We are a friendly, inclusive group. Pack plenty of smiles!
