● WHAT: Want to meet new people get some exercise and try something different? Consider contra dancing! It's good clean fun. "We get people of all ages. It's unique it's different and it's a lot of fun." Contra dancing is a couples dance that begins in two lines. That's why it's called contra dancing because you're standing opposite — or contra — your partner. "You start in lines and then you dance in and out of formations" following moves announced by a caller. Our dance is accompanied by live music! S come out and enjoy friendly camaraderie dance to live fiddle music and see everyone's smiling faces! No need to bring a partner nor have past experience or know how!
● WHY: To have a wicked good time get exercise meet new friends and get exercise!

● LIVE MUSIC by: "JUMPSTART"! JumpStart was formed around 21 years ago after an M.I.T. contra dance when Gene (bass) Paul (fiddle) and Victor (piano) decided to continue what had been a chance grouping. Paul took over the Manchester NH Dance in 2008 and JumpStart became the house band! They are an exciting and percussive band!
