"I recommend contradance for clients who want to do something fun that doesn't involved drinking. I send people who have enough attachability to tolerate the eye/human contact and who can tolerate some positive affect. If your person has an anxiety disorder or very low self-esteem, they may not tolerate the learning curve. I suggest these people get a few lessons before they hit the dance floor. I warn other clients that they will be completely lost for the first few dances, and then they'll catch on. They do, and come back triumphant. You may want to try it yourself, before you refer your clients. But only if you want more contact, more community, and more joy."
