Contra dancing is an American folk form that evolved out of English country dancing and French quadrilles and is a close cousin to American square dancing. This is a community social dance that requires no prior experience. Bring a friend or come alone. Folks change partners with each new dance. This Community dance will be called/taught using gender neutral dance role terms Larks/Ravens, not the traditional terms Ladies/Gents. There is always live music and a Caller teaching and prompting each dance.
