CONTRA DANCES: Have
you tried contra dancing? If not, you're missing one of the most fun
dance happenings in Fairbanks! It's a bit like square dancing, but done
in long lines, dancing with a different person each time the music
repeats. This dance form was designed for flirting! Quote: "Contra
dance is a form of dance that thrusts a different person of the
opposite sex into your arms every 30 seconds". Always live music and a
great mix of friendly folks of all ages. Waltzes too! Details:
