I'm always looking for stuff to do in the city. Trivia nights at bars are always nice, I was a bit of a Trivial Pursuit geek back in the day. Here's an interesting one to put into your calendars for Tuesdays.

The Folk Arts Center of New England is hosting a summer folk dance series from June through August. Don't know how to folk dance? They'll teach you. Dances are held in Copley Square near the corner of Clarendon and Boylston Streets on the plaza in front of historic Trinity Church.

Dances are held each Tuesday from 7:30pm to 10pm. Best of all, admission is free. See below for this summer's schedule.

June 26 New England contra dancing with caller Tony Parkes & musicians Carol Bittenson, Jim Guinness, and Roberta Sutter
