Live music. All ages. No experience needed. No partner needed.

Learn how to do-si-do, allemande, and swing! Mountain City Contra Dances are the perfect way to have fun, enjoy live music, and make new friends. Contra dance is like a Jane Austen ball with square dance energy. Line dancing says “Stay in your spot,” but contra dancing lets you connect and interact with folks around you. An instructor walks you through all the basic moves before each dance. Then the music starts and every move is called out in time to the tune so you know what comes next! It’s all about having fun, so there’s no pressure to get anything “right.” All ages are invited. Come on your own, with a partner, or bring the whole family! Concessions are available. No experience or fancy clothing is needed. Enjoy live music from area bands even if you don’t want to dance. A $5-15 donation is suggested.

Harrison Keely, a Brasstown-based dance caller who teaches barn dances for parties, weddings, and communities, is the primary caller. He is a regular on the John C. Campbell Folk School schedule.
