The Baton Rouge Cajun French Music Association holds regular dances, and they are a good time, in a way everyone from your grade school teacher to your little sister would recognize. Talented bands play cajun, zydeco, and country music in a union hall while skilled dancers, average age 60 or so, dance from 8 to 10 every other Friday night. There's a lesson from 7 to 7:45, but you might also be schooled by friendly Acadian strangers. They won't let a left-footed newcomer stay seated! At only $8 ($3 beers and sodas, $1 raffle tickets), this Catholic-inflected bluejeans scene is worth the drive out to a frontage road on South Florida Blvd- look for the big verticle UTC sign. You may also hear evidence that French is still a living language in the U.S. No homogeneity here!
