- Provide snacks.
- Attend meetings of the dance committee.
- Bring new dancers.
- Help new dancers have fun.
- Spread the word about contra dancing.
If you would like to help make the dances happen, call or speak with any of the dance committee members (below) to let them know how you can help. You can also e-mail tfootd@gmail.com for the date, time, and place of the next Tampa Friends of Old-Time Dance meeting. The meetings are usually held in person or via Zoom once a month and everyone is encouraged to attend. Your help will be greatly appreciated!
