We had a blast in 2024! Join us for 2025!

In 2024, Moose Flores called to tunes from The Liberty String Band

Join us for the best fun in Lansing to celebrate New Years Eve! We're family friendly, we don't serve alcohol, and we welcome everyone. Our bands always provide terrific live traditional and contemporary dance music, while our caller prompts the dance figures. Join us, and ring in your New Year with the joy of dance, and no hangover! We are currently planning to dance December 31, 2024! Hope we see you there!

If our COVID-19 protocols allow, we will start with a homemade potluck dinner (see info and times at left), followed by a no-pressure new dancer lesson so that everyone is familiar with the various dance figures. If you are new to contra dancing, it's essentially just walking and moving in time to the music. If you can walk and count to 8, you're golden. There's no need to even bring a partner, as we switch off every dance.

See you on the dance floor soon!

For all events, please refer to our COVID-19 protocols

For more information or questions, email the Looking Glass Dance Committee. We'd love to hear from you!
