Contra dancing has elements of swing and square dance. Each “dance” is composed of a different sequence of figures amounting to a “routine” that you repeat up and down the line with the dancers you meet on the way. The moves are taught by a caller and announced throughout the dance. It's a social dance similar to square dancing, with many of the same moves – do-­si­-do, swing, promenade, etc. ­but you get to dance with more people as you move up or down the “long line” with your partner. It's a simple, welcoming, community ­oriented activity for singles, couples, young and old. It is customary to change partners after each dance, so there is a maximum of social mixing. The dancing is done to live music and it's easy to learn.
Come and join spirited folks for an evening of Contra dance fun. You'll be back for more!
Please bring clean, soft-bottomed shoes for dancing.
