Join us on Saturday, August 2, 2025 for our foot-stomping monthly contradance at the Dorothea Laub Dance Place, 2650 Truxtun Rd. in Liberty Station. The dance is in Studio 106, on the 1st floor. The dance proper will be from 7:30 to 10:00 pm with a beginners' session at 7:00 for newcomers, anyone who wants to knock off some of the rust, and those who would like to help them do it while meeting new friends.
Our band will be JD Given and Co., playing Old Timey music with Dan Sankey on fiddle, Joe Payne on guitar, and Given Harrison on bass. Martha Wild will teach and call a fun set of interesting dances to get you stepping out into spring. Come and get your 10,000 steps in the most enjoyable way possible.
The fee is a sliding scale, we ask that dancers pay the right amount for them on a scale of $15 to $25. Money collected beyond covering expenses goes to the talent. We do have teen, student, and active military discounts.
A note about shoes: the Marley floor at the Dorothea Laub Dance Place is more sensitive to damage than the wood floor we used to dance on, so we have to request no high-heeled dance shoes. Any heel that tapers to a narrower bottom is unacceptable. Also, please bring a clean pair of shoes to change into for dancing; street shoes are not permitted by our hosts. Apologies to those who are inconvenienced by this. We encourage you to wear one of: bare feet, dance/yoga/barre socks, ballet slippers, soft or suede bottom jazz or ballet shoes (no taps), or sneakers or running shoes (thoroughly cleaned). You can find suede that attaches to the bottom of shoes on Amazon. The floor really is excellent for dancing barefoot. There is a water fountain, but you may want to bring your own water.
Note: the property owner has asked us to remind people that there is no smoking/vaping in the building or on the property.
Parking is available in the lots to the north of the building across the street, on street, and at Liberty Station. There are restaurants in the area - come and have a bite beforehand, dance, and go out for a drink afterwards!
Looking forward to dancing with you on August 2nd! See less
