Contra dancing is a blend of folk and square dancing - with a flavor and warmth all its own. It is relaxed, fun, and easy to learn. Whether you come with a group, a partner, or alone, you'll always find plenty of folks to dance with. In fact, part of the fun of contra dancing is getting to dance with just about everyone in the room at least once during the evening! Old friends reconnect and new friends meet in this really welcoming, upbeat environment. 

Join us for potluck before each dance, starting around 6:30. Bring a dish to share and get to meet our dance community! Plates, utensils and beverages are provided.

We recommend that you dress comfortably and wear shoes that aren't slippery. Rubber-soled flats or low heels work best - comfort is key. The dancing begins in the historic gym behind the center with a free lesson at 7:30pm, and the dance itself starts at 8pm. Adult admission is $8.00, SNCA Members $7.00, Students $4.00. Children under 7 FREE.
