Community greets the new year with a night of games, dancing
In classic square dancing fashion on New Year’s Eve in Kuujjuaq, people gathered, dressed up ready for a challenge, because it sure is one. The task is to dance until the music stops, which on most nights would be after a half-hour to an hour. Many times, the accordion player would pause to wipe the sweat off her face and the dancers would leave the dance floor covered in sweat, but bearing a big smile.
