Contra dancing is easy to learn and beginners are welcome. No partners necessary – come alone or bring a friend.
There is live music at every dance, and a caller to call out every step.
Dewey Hall is a beautiful place to dance, with a friendly wood floor and vaulted ceilings overhead.
The evening starts with a beginner session from 6:30-7:00, and the dance goes from 7:00-10:00. We offer refreshments during the break. All dances are taught on the spot; you just follow along!
Contra Dancing is one of Dewey Hall's most popular events. It is easy for beginners to join, and those who get hooked dance their whole lives through.
