Contra Dancing for 2025
Contra dance has been enjoyed in America since before the Revolutionary War. This New England tradition has been passed down through generations by dancers, callers, and musicians who appreciate this lively social activity. Contra dance is similar to square dancing, but it is performed in long lines or circles with couples, rather than in squares. All dances are taught and guided by a caller, and a live band plays traditional jigs and reels.
 
We have two contra dances scheduled and look forward to seeing you there. Please come wearing your dancing shoes!
 
Young people are welcome, but must be accompanied by an adult.
