What Is Contra Dance?
Contra is a vibrant American folk dance rooted in European traditions and shaped by generations of community gatherings. Dancers form long lines or sets of four couples and move through a series of repeating figures—all prompted by a live caller.

No partner? No problem.
No experience? Even better.
Every dance is taught, and the 7:00 PM beginner lesson will give you everything you need to feel comfortable on the floor.
