Looking Glass Music And Arts Association
Lansing, Michigan
Looking Glass is a loosely knit group of fun seekers
who have been organizing monthly square and contra
dances, workshops, and
other traditional music and arts activities for nearly 30 years.
We are a volunteer, non-profit organization, and anyone is welcome.
We hope you can join us for a contra dance sometime soon. Dancing
is fun, good exercise, and movement to music with a group of smiling people.
Join us on the floor and give it a try, we think you'll like it.
Want to know a little more? The Hamilton Country Dancers, Hamilton,
Ontario have put together two sets of "instructions"- The
Contra Dance Primer is a nice overview. There is also the more detailed
Introduction to Contra
Dance.
