What we’re about
Contra dancing is an upbeat, beginner-friendly social dance for all ages. It shares many moves with square dancing and is danced to live music in long lines. Bands and instructors ("callers") vary each night. Dances are held on the 2nd & 4th Fridays of most months. Come alone or bring friends–no partner or experience needed! Start out with the free beginner lesson and by the end of the night, you'll have danced with everyone in the room.
