Details

Join us for TWO back-to-back dances July 25 & 26 featuring the delightful calling of Drew Thomas alongside terrific traditional and pop/techno tunes! 😎 Friday's dance will be at the Senior Center from 7:15-10:00 with In Cahoots conspiring to play us some sensational old-time tunes. Saturday's pop/techno contra will be at the American Legion from 7:30-10:30, featuring special lighting and pop/techno music mixing by DJ RXN. 🪩

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. No dance experience is needed and you don’t need to bring a partner. Arrive in time for the free Beginner Lesson (held during the first 15 minutes), and by the end of the night, you'll have danced with everyone in the room! There's a short break mid-way through the night for sharing snacks and socializing. Wear comfortable clothes and flat shoes.

Standard Admission: $10 for Adults, $9 Seniors over 50, $6 for Students, Free for Kids under 12. Admission is payable by cash, check, or card at the door. Newcomers get in to their 2nd dance free!
*July 26 Pop/Techno dance Admission: $10 for Adults, $5 for Students
