Come Join Us For A Night Of Fun And Laughter.
Contra dancing is easy to learn and beginners are welcome. No partners necessary – come alone or bring a friend. There is live music at every dance, and a caller to keep you going in the right direction. Dewey Hall at 91 Main Street in Sheffield is a beautiful place to dance, with a friendly wood floor and vaulted ceilings overhead. The evening starts with a beginner session from 6:30-7:00, and the dance goes from 7:00-10:00. We offer refreshments during the break. All dances are taught.
Students: $8-10
Families: $35
New Dancers: Your 2nd dance is free! Just ask for a ticket
