| About Us: The New York Lesbian & Gay Contradance Series was started in 1999 as a way to bring the festive, friendly and fun American contra dance scene to the New York gay and lesbian community. Our style of contra dance is called "gender-role free" or "gender neutral", where anyone can lead or follow and there is no reference to gender in the calling. Gender-role free dance is catching on with our straight friends too, so come one, come all! Home |

Sponsorship: We are a not-for-profit dance and rely on door proceeds to cover the cost of our live music, callers, the dance hall, and publicity. Different forms of sponsorship are available for dancers or organizations interested in helping out with costs. Sponsors can choose to completely sponsor a dance, that is, pay for the entire evening, or they may choose to sponsor the band, the refreshments, etc. Another form of sponsorship is to offer to make up any deficit between operating expense and door proceeds for a given evening. For more information, please contact Brooks or Tom. Home
