Community Social Dance - contras and squares

Community Social Dance - contras and squares

Let the rhythms lift your feet and your spirits! Join us on first Fridays, Oct to May, excluding December to dance, socialize, or just sit and listen to some of the best bands and callers in the region. 

No experience is necessary, all ages are welcome and you don’t need to bring a partner. Simple and fun social dance where there is no right and left feet, just a basic walking step.  The caller teaches all dances before they start.  

We recommend wearing comfortable shoes and dressing in layers. 

What is contra dancing?  Taken from: caldancecoop.org which has more details and videos: Contra dance is similar to square dancing but it differs from Squares in that Contra dance is done in lines rather than in a 4-couple square.   Many of the terms are the same in both Contra and Square dancing, so if you remember any of the terms from old school days or previous occasions you’re already halfway there.   Now and then, a Contra dance caller may even call a Square dance or two during the evening’s dance.
