Quicksilver Country Dancers,
Inc. is a gender-free contra dance community welcoming lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered folk and their
straight friends.
QCD is dedicated to the teaching, enjoyment and continuing evolution of English
and American traditional and historical dance, music and song. QCD
promotes and supports gender-free traditional dancing (contra, square,
English country, and folk).
QCD agrees with Jane Austen, who, in Emma, had this to say about
English country dancing, the dance form from which contra dancing
originates:
It may be possible
to do without dancing entirely. Instances have been known of young
people passing many, many
months successively without being at any ball of any
description, and no material injury accrue either to body or
mind; but when a beginning is made--when the
felicities of rapid motion have once been, though slightly, felt--it
must be a very heavy set that does not ask for more.
(emphasis added.)
Once a start is made, it's impossible not to ask for more! Come
Dance with Us!!!
