Men in Skirts FAQ
Queen City is proud to be the first dance organization in cyberspace to explain this popular but baffling dance floor phenomenon. Now has pictures of our favorite guy in skirts! Not for the humor-impaired.

Contra Dance Bibliography
A Queen City exclusive. Our cofounder and webmaster is a librarian and way back in 1993, while in library school, she compiled a bibliography on contra dance reference and research sources. Here it is in original, unimproved form.

The inevitable small print:
