What we’re about

Norfolk Contra Dancers (TRADIN') meet on the third Saturday of every month to dance to live music with a caller. Contra dancing has moves similar to old-time square dancing, done with a partner and another couple in a line. No costume or partner is required and there is new dancer orientation every month. Anyone who can walk can contra dance!  New dancers are always welcome, so come out and join us.

We typically dance at First Lutheran Church, 1301 Colley Ave., Norfolk, VA.  The church is right down the street from the Naro Cinema -- parking and entrance are in the rear between Baldwin and Maury.
