Contra Dance

Join Friday Night Dancers at a Contra Dance! Contra is a fun and easy dance, and darn it, you need more dancing in your life! There's a caller like in square dance, telling you the moves, and every dance is taught beforehand. No experience needed! No partner, talent, or rhythm needed. Come alone or with friends! All ages. All genders. All body types. The caller will be Michael Karcher, and the band will be The Syncopaths, featuring Christa Burch (bodhran, vocals), Ryan McKasson (fiddle), Jeffrey Spero (piano), and Eamon Sefton (mandolin). Always danced to great live music!
