Care to Waltz?

Before the Waltz, people danced around each other with little or no contact at all. As the dance started gaining popularity, it was criticised on moral grounds due to its close-hold stance and fast turning movements. Religious leaders regarded it as vulgar and sinful.

With the resumption of contra dances at The Dancing Fish, waltz opportunities too have resumed. Arrive early and enjoy waltzing to recorded music.
