We’ve finally come to terms with the fact that we’ll never be on Dancing with the Stars. That’s because we don’t practice enough. Good thing the Institute of Contemporary Art (100 Northern Avenue, Boston, 617.478.3100) is providing an opportunity for us to get rid of one of our left feet all month long. You Dance Friday happens every week in August and features live music, a little instruction, and, of course, a chance to put the two together. On August 1, get a primer on how to swing, then put your feet to the test as Russ Gershon’s (of Either/Orchestra fame) Swing Vote supplies the beat. Get your samba groove on when the Brasilis strike up the band on August 8. Tap and belly-dancing are scheduled for later in the month. Lessons start at 6 p.m.; the dance party goes until 8:30. It’s free with admission to the museum.
