What we’re about

What is contra dancing?
Hard to describe...Best experienced in person!

For more information and videos showing how fun it is!

You and your partner join with another couple in a group of 4. Everyone moves through a series of fun and easy dance moves before moving on to a new couple in the line.
Dance caller Diane Silver describes it:
"You take long lines as seen in English country dances as seen in Pride and Prejudice, put in square dancing moves your learned in school, set it to the driving beat of River Dance, and drop this all in the middle of Woodstock"

We start every dance with a lesson to get you up and dancing in no time!
