Contra Dance with Live Music

Contra Dances are currently on hold but will resume soon the 4th Sunday of every month at 7pm

Monthly Contra Dances feature live music by a cadre of local musicians playing with Dave Ambrose as dance caller. The dance will start at 7PM with a beginner's lesson and run until 10PM. All ages are welcome. Bringing along a dance partner is not necessary as contra dancers are encouraged to dance with as many new partners as they are comfortable with. Entrance fee is a sliding scale $5-$10. And of course, you can give more to support the musicians, caller, & the beautiful dance hall. Come join the fun!

Questions? Contact Dave at 503-741-8412 davesfire@charter.net
