Join us Friday, July 25th for a fun community contra dance! Tallahassee’s delightful Drew Thomas will be calling the dances and In Cahoots is conspiring to play us some sensational old-time tunes.

This dance is part of a double-header weekend featuring a traditional dance on July 25 and a pop/techno contra dance on July 26. Contra dancing is an upbeat, beginner-friendly American folk dance for all ages. It shares many moves with square dancing (such as swing your partner and do-si-do) and is danced in long lines to live music. The bands and callers vary each night. Come alone or bring friends–no partner or experience required. Those new to contra dancing are strongly encouraged to come by 7:15 when a Beginner Lesson will be taught, and as dances are taught in more detail early in the evening. Wear comfortable clothes and flat shoes.
