What is Contra? It's a folk dance characterized by twirling, stomping and clapping. Danced in long lines and usually to a fiddle, it is a distant relative of Square Dancing.
Contra is social by nature; you dance with everyone in your line. This is the third and final installment of lessons preceding a larger event featuring a live band and caller.
No partner or experience is necessary. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes, such as tennis shoes, and save the date for the big culminating event:
