New England Contra Dancing for the entire community.
Dances are held 7:30-10:30pm.
Newcomers and people of all ages, with or without a partner,
are welcome and can learn the steps the first night.
Contra dancing can be done with a walking step, so that even
dancers who are not confident can be easily included. The dancing
is energetic and involves mixing with the other dancers as each
couple performs a short routine with another couple before
progressing onto the next couple and repeating the sequence
(the progression). A free beginner's workshop starts at 7:15. Admission is $8 for adults, $4 for children and $20 for families.
