Snorty Horse is a Missouri/New Mexico with (Dave Para and Erika Gerety) band that plays old time and contemporary songs, as well as Ozark breakdowns with fiddle, banjo, guitar, mandolin and bass and sweet-as-sugar harmonies.
We are excited to play for the ABQ Contra Dance! Everyone, all ages are welcome.
Though dances are called (taught) all afternoon, a short lesson to learn basic terminology starts at 2:00.
We always say, "if you can walk (or trot), you can dance"
Contra dance enjoys a wide popularity around the world. It only takes a few minutes and one simple lesson to learn the basics — then you can dance the night away. Come join us! We’d love to see you!
Albuquerque Contra Dances are lively dances are done to live, fiddle-style music with great callers. Contra dances (also called barn dances) are great fun and an excellent way to meet new people. The dance community attracts people from their teens to their 70s. One of the best things about contra dance is there is no partner needed! It is a style of dance that is designed to be social, so you get to interact with most everyone in the room within the first hour or so.
