Contra dancing is a great way to get some exercise, meet new people, and enjoy live music in a family-friendly environment!  No partner necessary. Every dance is taught before you do it.  Invite your friends. Bring your family.  Remember to dress comfortably and bring clean, soft-soled, non-marking shoes. Bring water to stay hydrated and feel free to bring a snack to share. The first half-hour will include time for socializing and a short review of contra dance basics for new and out-of-practice dancers. Note: Children 12 and under must be supervised by an adult at all times. Children who are not participating in the dance must stay off the dance floor.
