The Contra Prom is a single-night event we have held every spring since 2004. It started when some of our younger dances wanted to create a “prom-alternative” and joined forces with the Syracuse Country Dancers to put together a really fun dance! Unlike a normal highschool prom, the Contra Prom has no age limit, no dates are required, there’s awesome live music, and we have cake! The Prom is typically held at Madison Hall and we encourage people to dress up (goofy, elegant or anywhere in between) and be ready to party it up with fun dances, exciting music, and lots of energetic dancers.
Some of our past proms featured bands such as Giant Robot Dance, Matching Orange, Perpetual e-Motion and Anadama.

This year the Contra Prom will be March 23rd, from 8:00 – 11:00 PM at the lovely Madison Hall in Morrisville, and we’re excited to have the powerhouse band, Nor’easter come play for us! Feauting Julie Vallimont on piano, Max Newman on guitar and mandolin and Cedar Stanistreet on fiddle, you won’t be able to sit out when these guys take the stage! It’ll be a great night.
