Whoops! There is no techno contra involving me in Kentucky on March 29! I'm quite sure that listing resulted from an error on my website, which I've corrected. But do not despair, dear Midwesterners...another Louisville techno contra is in discussion, so stay tuned!

This project has concluded as of mid-2013 (with an epilogue posted mid-2016) but we hope to see you soon on a contra dance floor! Meanwhile, head over to our Facebook page for upcoming techno contra events and other items of interest.

I dance with abandon. I play with glowsticks. I look for music that is conducive to one or both. I play behind cameras. I write about all of the above. I'm based in Glen Echo's contra dance community outside of Washington, D.C., but I'm happy to go dance afield when I can. Lather, rinse, repeat. Always repeat.
