Our weekly, early-evening contra dance is shorter than a typical evening event, making it more accessible for families with young kids, newcomers, and anyone who loves to dance but also values time to connect before and after.

Rooted in tradition and built for community, our dance is about more than just the steps—it’s about creating a place where everyone belongs.
