New England Contra Dancing for the entire community.
Dances are usually held on the first Saturday of the month,
7:30-10:30pm. A free introductory workshop begins at 7:15pm.
Dances are held at the Church of Christ Uniting in Kingston
(directions below).
Newcomers and people of all ages, with or without a partner,
are welcome and can learn the steps the first night.
Contra dancing can be done with a walking step, so that even
dancers who are not confident can be easily included. The dancing
is energetic and involves mixing with the other dancers as each
couple performs a short routine with another couple before
progressing to the next couple and repeating the sequence
(the progression).
A free beginner's workshop starts at 7:15.
Admission is $9 for adults, $4 for children, and $25 for families.
