The first contra dance I ever attended was in 1979 at the CDS Boston Tuesday night dance
at the Brimmer and May School in Chestnut Hill, Mass. The pre-dance workshop was handled
by none other than Al Olson. Later, when Al moved to Chicago, I was one of the people who
took responsibility for that early teaching session.
I don't know how long the pre-dance sessions were in operation before I arrived.
