Community Calendar

Let the rhythms lift your feet and your spirits! Join us on first Fridays to dance, socialize, or just sit and listen to some of the best bands and callers in the region. No experience is necessary, all ages are welcome and you don’t need to bring a partner. The caller teaches all dances before they start. Live music at every dance. 
7:00 PM – Free lesson, all encouraged to come early7:30 – 10:30 PM – Contra dancing

What is contra dancing?  Taken from https://www.sccdc.org/resources/what-is-contra-dancing/ which has more details and videos
Contra dancing is done in long lines of dancers rather than in groups of four couples forming a square. Many of the terms and movements are the same in both contra and square dancing, so if you remember anything from school or previous dancing, you’re already halfway there!
And don’t be surprised if a contra dance caller includes a square dance or two during the evening—sometimes we mix things up!
The footwork in contra dancing is very simple. Most of the time, you’re simply walking to the music, with a few easy steps and movements added along the way. The caller teaches each dance as you go, so you don’t need to know the dances ahead of time.

If you like digging into backstories as much as listening to music, join us to discuss music-related books, documentaries, podcasts and more.

Because no one wants to spend time reading a book they don't like, there is no assigned title. Instead, you choose a book (or documentary, podcast, article, zine, etc.) that fits in with a monthly theme. When we get together, we'll all share the stories, songs, and clips we found. This kind of book club is a great way to get reading recommendations and discover new bands.
