Contra is an American folk dance done in opposing lines (hence term "contra"). It's similar to square dancing, but you dance to the music rather than the caller and you dance with everyone as the lines progress. The music is live, usually of celtic origin, and the dancing is vigorous and aerobic!

Contra isn't just a dance, it's a community of warm, welcoming folk. No experience or partner required. It is super easy to learn; one lesson is all you need to enjoy the evening. It is acceptable for anyone to ask anyone/any gender to dance.

FoTD hosts community contra dances on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month, with a free lesson and refreshments.

• Sponsored by the Friends of Traditional Dance.
• Lesson 6:15 pm. Dance 7:00 to 9:30 pm.
