Santa Cruz Contra Dance

Dance to the music of the WHOOTS (Shira Kammen on fiddle, Noel Cragg on keys, and Jim Oakden on multiple instruments). Caller is Celia Ramsay.

Everyone is welcome! Bringing a partner is not required, and prior dancing experience is not necessary. Contra dance is a traditional New England style of folk dancing, in which each dance is taught and prompted by a caller. During each dance, partners “progress” up or down the hall, eventually dancing with everyone else in the line. Dances are high-energy, playful, social and set to live music. New dancers are encouraged to attend the free lesson at 5:40, before the regular dance at 6:00. Wear comfortable, non-marking shoes, and comfortable loose-fitting light-weight clothing (twirly skirts are great fun too!).

Suggested admission donation is $12 regular, $20 for supporters, $8 for full-time students w ID card. Cash only.
