Contra dancing is a community social dance that has its origins in England, Scotland and France made popular in the US.

We dance to live music – Irish, Scottish and French-Canadian tunes played by talented musicians. A caller walks through the moves and prompts the figures during the dance.

Contra dance is appropriate for all ages if you can walk briskly and follow directions independently. You don’t need to bring a partner. It is customary to change partners during the evening. Bring comfortable layered clothes, water bottle, indoor shoes.
