Our Schedule

When you can dance with us

Our current schedule of face-to-face dances consists of two contra dances per month on 1st & 3rd Saturdays, and two English country dances on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays. The dances run from 7:00-10:00 PM, with a social break.

Occasionally, we move or cancel a dance in order not to compete with other nearby events. We recommend you always check our schedule before traveling. Scheduled events are listed below. If you wish, you can also view this list of our past dances.
