What is Contra?
Contra Dancing (also called country dancing) is similar to square dancing but allows dancers to interact with new dancers and focuses on long lines rather than square formations. We will teach you everything you need to know but if you are new to contra we recommend you attend the 6:30 lesson to learn the basics. You don't need a partner to come and have a good time. We encourage everyone to dance with new people.
What do I wear?
Contra dancing can be quite aerobic so make sure you are comfortable. We find sneakers with a soft sole to be best. Come as you are so long as you can move about!
Can I bring children?
Contra has a lot of weaving and twirling moves that can be difficult for smaller children. We advise against bringing children under the age of 6. If you do bring young children we ask that you do not leave them unattended.
