If you are near Boston, you should definitely stop by the Boston Intergenerational Dance Advocates dances http://www.bidadance.org/. They teach an intro lesson and then every dance has an introductory runthrough. People there are enthusiastic about welcoming newcomers.
If you're not near Boston, Contra dance is found all over the US. (Also in London! email me.) You can find a local dance by putting your zip code into http://www.trycontra.com/
