    details: "Six callers, four bands, three hours of non-stop dancing\nThe callers and bands will rotate on stage. Dancers will keep dancing. Big kudos to our sound crew, Adam Bodine and Ian Brehm. \nYou and your partner may join anytime at the bottom of the line. \nYou and your partner may drop out anytime at the top or bottom of the line to hydrate, rest, socialize and find a new partner. \nThis dance is not for beginners. There is no lesson and no teaching. We expect dancers will know heys, right-and-left through, petronella turns, pass through to a wave, rory-o-more balances and contra corners. Come to the Thursday Contra during March where the callers will teach all the figures you need to know."
