Our annual fundraiser dance will raise money for the South Bay Grange, so that we can continue to contra dance there for years to come!
The Olympia Volunteer String band is a collection of 20 musicians of all ages. We have spent the last couple of months rehearsing a brilliant program of creative contra dance music for your enjoyment!
Please come and support local dancing, local musicians, and our wonderful community!
Lesson for new and returning dancers: 7 pm
Dance: 7:30 - 10 pm
Admission: Sliding scale - suggested $10-25. Note: an average of ~$17/person will typically cover all of our costs for an evening. (NOTAFLOF)
We strive to create a fun, safe, and inclusive community. Learn more about how we care for one another:

Curious about contra? New dancers are always welcome and encouraged to attend the lesson at 7. Not ready to dance? That's ok, come for the live music 🙂

We love our volunteers! It takes a team of volunteers to host a contra dance. Would you be interested in sitting at the welcome desk for one dance (~15 minutes)? It's a great way to show your support and connect with dancers off the dance floor. Email us (
