Contra Super Glue Workshop with Maia McCormick
Join us for a getting ready for Dance Flurry workshop with Maia McCormick and live music from the High Strung. Lots of people think that the “best” dancers are the ones who do the fanciest flourishes, but we know better: they’re the ones doing un-flashy and fascinating work of keeping the dance working and keeping their fellow dancers safe. Come learn the skills to help struggling dancers, straighten lines, and keep your set together: become Contra Superglue (and have fun while doing it!). Advanced Dance to follow!
