Video: Contra Dancing Waltzes into Lakewood

There was nothing square about the contra dancing event Saturday at the Masonic Temple in Lakewood.

More than 100 people showed up to dance to the tunes played by Mud in Yer Eye folk band.

The traditional American dance has an event on the first Saturday of each month at the Masonic Temple. All are welcome — and no partner is required.

Organizers say the event is such a success because beginners can get involved right away, with no experience necessary.
