A wonderful dance form brought to the American colonies by early settlers and enjoyed locally since before the American Revolution, making this one of the oldest continuous dance forms enjoyed in our country today! It is danced to Irish, Celtic, Old English, Early American and modern 'traditional' tunes played usually by live bands.

Contra dancing is for everyone, the young and old alike. Dancers may come with a partner or by themselves as no partner is required and you dance with everyone. A new partner is usually found for each dance. One of the best ways to learn to Contra Dance is for beginners to ask experienced dancers to dance and beginners should not be surprised if experienced dancers ask them to dance!

Callers and music to be announced.

Bring a new dancer and enjoy Contra Dancing!
