Valentine's Contra Dance feat. Vicki Morrison and Larry Unger & Friends

Join us Friday, Feb. 13th for the sweetest Tally contra dance of the year! Vicki Morrison will call the dances to live tunes by folk legend Larry Unger and Friends. Singles, couples, and families alike will enjoy this fun, heart-filled community dance. 💕

In honor of Valentine’s Day we’ll have a chocolate fountain flowing, and dancers are encouraged to bring dippable items to share (fruit, marshmallows, baked goods, etc.). 😍 Wear red or pink too if you feel so inclined, and snap a photo with friends in our festive photo booth!

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 at 7:15, 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.

Admission cost: $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!
