Contra dance is a fun, easy style of folk dance which has flourished in New England since the 1700s. Partners form lines and dance a short sequence of steps with their neighbors. Over the course of the dance, each couple travels the length of the line and dances with every other couple. Dancers are welcome to bring a partner or a group of friends but it’s not necessary – traditionally, dancers are encouraged to change partners throughout the evening.

Hannah Chamberlain from Maine is a rising contra dance caller celebrated for her vibrant energy, clear instruction, and ability to build instant rapport with dancers. Her calling style blends confidence and charm, making each dance set feel both accessible and exhilarating for all participants.

Thistlebird is a contradance duo based in New England featuring Emma Sloan on fiddle and multi-instrumentalist Daniel Raine on rhythm. Together, the two draw on their shared background in New England, Irish, Old-Time, Québécoise, and Scandinavian dance music to create an energetic and uplifting sound - much like the bright little bird they're named after! 

The dance takes place in the historic Town House in Peterborough, NH at 1 Grove Street. For more information call 603-547-5831 or visit www.facebook.com/peterboroughcontra, or www.monadnockfolk.org. 

The Monadnock Folklore Society has presented contra dances and concerts of traditional music since 1982.
