The rest is just details. No partner is needed as it is tradition to change partners for each dance. Contra dances are family friendly, alcohol, tobacco, and fragrance free events. Contra dance is an energetic form of dance for all ages. Contra dance is similar to square dance but is done in long lines rather than four couple squares. A beginners lesson is held prior to each dance where the basic moves are taught. The caller calls out the moves during each dance. Come out and join us for fun, exercise, and social interaction.
