Way back in 1993, while in library school, our co-founder compiled a bibliography on contra dance research sources. Here it is in original, unimproved form.“The Fine Print”Dancing is done at your own risk and self-evaluation of your physical health and ability.   Contra dancing, while low impact, is still exercise and you will become warm.Dancing Makes Me Feel“Consciousness expresses itself through creation. This world we live in is the dance of the creator. Dancers come and go in the twinkling of an eye but the dance lives on. On many an occasion when I am dancing, I have felt touched by something sacred. In those moments, I felt my spirit soar and become one with everything that exists.”~ Michael JacksonQueen City Contra Dancers Buffalo NYBECOME A MEMBERSEE DANCE SCHEDULEQueen City Contra Dancers Buffalo NY regrets the necessity of reminding you that all pages are copyright (C) 2020, all rights reserved.
