As a community dance in a small college town, we welcome people of all ages and backgrounds into the ever-changing tradition of New England contra dance. Contra dancing is the contemporary face of a living tradition; some of the dances are hundreds of years old, some are recently composed. Some of the dances are hundreds of years old, some are recently composed; all are good fun and a pleasurable occasion for meeting and interacting with people both new and familiar.
Everyone is welcome. New dancers and families with children are encouraged to arrive at 7:15 for an introductory lesson. Come with or without a partner; most people change partners for each dance throughout the evening.
Covid Policy: Masks are optional, and we are no longer checking vaccination status.
