Yes -- there's an English country dance meetup near me. I went a couple times... but in my late 30s, I was the youngest person in the room by 20 years!

I hope there's some popular movie or TV show that makes it cool again, and injects some fresh blood. Otherwise, it's just going to die, and that would be a loss.

(There's also a contradance[0] about 30 minutes from me. That seems to be having more success attracting young people...?)

Contra is a great beginners dance that is also fun for experienced dancers. It is basically just walking, no fancy steps.

A friend of mine used to host Contra dances done to techno with nightclub like strobes that were very popular with the university students nearby.
