Queer Contra Chicago will hold its next dance on Thursday, April 3, 6:30-9:30 p.m. in Myron R. Szold Music and Dance Hall at Old Town School of Folk Music, 4545 N. Lincoln Ave.
Contra dance is a form of folk dance, similar to square-dancing, but with lines of dancers rather than squares.
No advance planning or experience is needed. Admission is $10; however, no one will be turned away for lack of funds. For more information, visit https://www.facebook.com/
