Contra dancing is a great way to clear your head, get some exercise, meet new people, and enjoy live music in a smoke-free and alcohol-free environment! Every dance is taught before you do it and uses only a few easily learned movements, performed at a walking pace and directed by a caller. If you can walk, you can contra dance! No partner necessary. New dancers are always welcome. Invite your friends! Bring your family!
