Background
Location: Glen Echo Park, 7300 MacArthur Blvd., Glen Echo, MD 20817
Glen Echo Park has been a part of Maryland's Historic District since 1891. Every Friday the park hosts a contra dance in their Spanish Ballroom or in their open air Bumper Car Pavilion. Contra dance is a style of partnered folk dance, and is a great way to meet new people! You don't even have to bring a partner! The dance goes on from 8:30 pm - 11:30 pm, however there is a beginner's lesson from 7:30 pm - 8:15 pm, which is included in the price of admission. We will be attending the Contra Dance night, but Glen Echo always offers different classes with other dance styles including Blues, Cajun & Zydeco, Country, Salsa, Swing, and Waltz. We can't wait to get our groove on!

Stay tuned! We'll be attending this event on May 27th.
I've never actually mustered up the nerve to do this, but it sounds like a lot of fun. Wish I could be there to see you on the 27th; please post some photos ;) With any luck I'll be persuaded to try this before the year ends.
