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! |
