👭 NEWCOMERS: WELCOME to our community contra dance! We always have super live music. Our experienced dancers gladly help new dancers join in. All dances are taught and prompted. Come as you are -- no partner needed, as we change partners for each dance. Contra dancing is aerobic, so wear loose clothing and non-slippery, non-grippy shoes.
