Beginner Lesson: 7-7:30 PM, Dancing Until 10 PM

What better way to spend a January evening than in the company of friends, celebrating the age old tradition of a community Contra Dance.

The contra dance is also known as English country dance, New England folk dance, a barn dance, or Appalachian folk dance. In contra dancing, long lines of couples dance together, performing simple footwork patterns, walking steps, and twirls. Dancers perform to folk music played by a live band featuring mandolins, banjos, and accordions, while a caller calls out the pattern for everyone to follow.
