It's rare for a month to have five Fridays. When that happens, the TCD Board decides whether or not to put on a dance. Recently we decided that this rare Friday is a good chance to do something different, so...

Are you up for a challenge? At this special and rare 5th Friday dance, we'll dance fun, interesting, and challenging contras. Come alert, on your toes, and ready to dance!

There will be no beginners lesson! If you are a newcomer, or have only attended a few times, we look forward to dancing with you at one (or all!) of the other August dances
