    details: "Been loving contra as a new dancer but want to take your dancing to the next level? Been dancing for years but want a stronger foundation? Want time to learn or practice some flourishes outside of a dance? \nJoin Brooklyn Contra and Alyssa Adkins at our first Intermediate Contra workshop! We’ll look at less common, intermediate contra moves and break them down, learn flourishes and fun places to put them, and go over techniques to make partnered dancing feel smooth, attentive, and effortlessly connected.  \nAll skills will be taught in context, with time to practice on your own, with a partner, and in full dances selected to bring it all together – all with live music! \nStick around after the workshop for a full dance with Alyssa’s calling and music from Good Company and bring what you learned to the floor!"
