Yes! You should come dance! Oh, and I totally flaked on the handstand club thing. I plead infant.
If you're feeling like you want to wade your way in slowly, there's a newbie-friendly jam most every Sunday (usefully, not this one, see below) from 11:30AM-1:30PM at the Arlington Center (369 Mass Ave in Arlington). It's a sweet jam in its own right, but I really don't think that you count as much of a newbie.
There is no Sunday jam this weekend because there is a jam from Friday night until Sunday evening (http://www.geocities.com/ContactImprovBoston/falljam07.htm). I'm going to try to make it large parts of that. We'll see how successful I am. There's a live music jam on Saturday night from 8-10 which will probably be similar to the improv jam below (probably bigger, more ci, people who don't know each other as well).
2nd & 4th Mondays (that is, this coming Monday) there's a improv jam (not just ci, but live music, lowered lights, amazing dancers). This is my favorite dance, but it can be a bit much for some people. If you like to jump in to things, this is it (8-10 PM, top floor of the dance complex, Central Square).
Somewhere in between Mondays & Sundays is the Tuesday night jam (8-10 PM St Mary's Church on Inman St in Central Sq). I haven't been in about 7 months (my son being 6 months), but if you're going, I'll show up (I mean, there's nothing wrong with it, it's just that suddenly I can't stay out til 10 two or three nights in a row...).
Wednesday nights there's a barefoot boogie (DJ-ed music, less CI) in Harvard square. I haven't been in a while as it's directly opposite silks practice (Oh! You should come to silks! Lena is bringing her trapeze so we can compare it to the one frobzwiththingz made. Also, I think I found your lj through someone from silks. It's Wednesdays from 7-10PM at Spontaneous Celebrations in JP).
Aside from the full fall jam, everything is around $7-10.
Hmm, I wish lj had some sort of secret email exchange mechanism...
