Contra dance is a welcoming form of traditional folk dancing featuring long lines of dancers who interact together through simple, guided movements. Dances are performed at a comfortable walking pace and are taught step-by-step by a caller, making the experience accessible for beginners and enjoyable for experienced dancers alike. No partner is necessary, and the event takes place in a smoke-free and alcohol-free environment.

Doors will open at 4:45 PM, with announcements beginning at 5:15 PM. The program will run through 7:30 PM. The first half hour will include time for socializing and light snacks. Every dance is taught before it begins.

The program fee is $10, and tips for musicians are always welcome. The event is open to all ages and experience levels, and attendees are encouraged to invite friends.
