Join us for an exhilarating contradance night on December 7, 2023, as we welcome back genial Bob Nicholson and the elegant musicians of Arugula.

Experience the magic of contra dancing, where all are welcome, and no partner or experience is necessary. Bring your friends, family, and fellow dance enthusiasts for a night of lively music, connection, and community. An introduction to contra dancing is available on request around 7:10.

We have a sliding scale admission policy, with a target of $10. Pay more if you can, less if you can’t – come dance!
