This has been a long time coming. Boston’s gender-free contras started
with JP’s LCFD in
1988. BIDA discussions started in
2013 and we switched in
2017. Monday fundraisers have been Larks/Robins since before covid, and
the Thursday dance is going gender-free as they restart.
Since I don’t know what regular Concord Monday is planning
for when they restart this may be a temporary situation. But it’s an
exciting milestone regardless!

There are currently four contra dance series in Boston: LCFD, BIDA, Concord Thursday, and Concord Monday Fundraisers. And all four are gender-free!
