What we’re about
Contra is a traditional community dance, reminiscent of the types held in local grange halls. Dancers form long lines facing each other (hence the name "contra") and each pair of dancers gets to dance up and down the line, sharing smiles and laughter with all the other dancers as they go. Dances are taught and led by a caller. Dancers usually change partners after each dance, and have no need to come with one. Talented local musicians perform dynamic and lively tunes that add to the vibrant atmosphere.
