Beat the winter blues at the first contra of 2026! Don't let the schedule-scrambling weather of January keep you from joining the Columbia Contra scene in February!
CALLER & BAND: Columbia caller, Dianne Palmer-Quay, will guide you through weather-busting dances using the terms Larks and Robins. Columbia band, Sherlock's Meow, will put your toes to tapping with lively traditional tunes.
TIME: Doors will open at 5:45 to allow time for pre-dance socializing around plates of finger foods both sweet and savory. Please bring something delicious to share. Paper goods and water will be provided. There will be a review of dance basics at 6:30 with the full dance starting at 7:00pm.
