Contra Cruz

Come to our annual Contra Cruz event with an extra hour of contra dancing! Dance to the music of the Backwater Boys (Rodney Miller, Chris Knepper, and Charlie Hancock)! Caller is Susan Petrick. This dance will feature traditional dance roles (gents/ladies).

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 4:40, before the regular dance at 5:00. Wear comfortable, non-marking shoes, and comfortable loose-fitting light-weight clothing (twirly skirts are great fun too!).

Suggested admission donation is $16 regular, $20 for supporters, $10 for full-time students w ID card. Cash, check, or Paypal only.
