Friday Night DJ Contra Dance

Contra dance is a social dance – You’ll see a lot of smiling faces as you dance up and down the lines with multiple dance “partners” and “neighbors." You do not have to bring a partner!

NOTE: Intro dance lesson is at 7:30pm. Dance runs from 8-10:30pm.

There will be a dance caller who teaches the dance and walks you through each part before the music begins. He or she also calls the dance figures during the music to help you remember what to do.

Our Friday night dances usually feature LIVE music, but, for this dance, the callers, Crystal Melton and Denali Relles, will use a variety of recorded tunes!

We ask for a minimum donation of $7 from each person to keep this event going. More is welcome and appreciated!

Contra dance originated in New England, with roots in French, Scottish, and English traditional dances. You can find lively dance communities all over the world and - especially - right here in Nashville, TN.
