Upcoming Contra Dance Events:
Our First In-Person Contra Dance!
Saturday, Oct. 16th, 7 to 9:30 p.m.
at the Monterey YMCA
UPDATE: SOCIAL Get-Together at the Park!
Join us 2-4pm at El Estero Park, across the street from the Monterey YMCA, and one block farther toward the beach. Bring a chair or a blanket and your own refreshments, and catch up with dance friends!
Now, about the dance: We have all missed dancing this last year and a half, please come on down to welcome back the dancing! Local favorite Warren Blier will call, with music by Lee Anne Welch, Sonia Shell & Yvonne Wolbroehl. Expect a slightly slower pace and shorter dances as we ease back into dancing. It will be so good to get together and try this!
In-Person Rules: Open to vaccinated dancers only, proof of vaccination will be checked at the door (photos of vaccination card ok), and will be noted for easy admission to future dances.
Well-fitting masks must be worn throughout the dance.
Bottled water will be offered outdoors during the break. Sorry, no potluck snacks yet.
PRICES: $20 Contra Angel / $10 general / $8 members / $5 military and full-time students with ID

Not sure what Contra Dance is? See videos and learn more by checking out our About Contra Dance page. If you're feeling nervous about learning how to contra dance, we even have links to beginning dancers' training videos on YouTube – they are a wonderful help, though nothing replaces dancing as a way to learn. Please be aware that some of our dancers are sensitive to fragrances – we respectfully request that everyone please be thoughtful and not use products with fragrance prior to a contra dance. Thank you! |
