Friday Night Contra Dance
Details
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. Comfortable shoes and a water bottle are a good idea.
There will be a dance caller (Crystal Melton and Denali Relles) who teach the dances. They will walks you through each part before the music begins. They will also call the dance figures during the music to help you remember what to do.
This dance will be a DJ CONTRA. The music will be recorded tunes you will probably recognize from listening to the radio and Spotify.
We ask for a minimum donation of $7 per 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.
Intro dance lesson is at 7:30pm. Dance runs from 8-10:30pm.
