Contra Dance

(May 2025 update - the dance organization jas dropped its covid vaccine requirements for the Sunday and Friday dances. No masks or proof of vaccine is required.)

Contra dancing is a form of social American folk dancing. Long lines of couples dance together, performing simple footwork patterns, walking steps, and twirls, following the directions of a caller. Dancing is done to folk music played by a live band featuring fiddles, banjos, guitars, and keyboards. Wear comfortable shoes and clothes, as this is a casual, social dance! Lesson is at 6:30, with social dancing from 7:00-9:30.

Dances cost $10, or $5 for students.
