Are you yearning for more community engagement? More joy? More cultural activities? More exercise? We’ve got it all covered in one stop — come along and dance! (And then join us on the 21st of each month to sing too.)

No experience required: each session starts at 7:00pm with a 30-minute lesson, and then dances are “called” from 7:30-10pm (this means the steps are called out loud so you can follow along). All levels of experience are welcome. Our August dance features Greg Frock calling to Backstep Cindy!

The Contra Dances are presented by Carpe Diem Arts in partnership with the Folklore Society of Greater Washington and Washington Revels, with support from BE ACTIVE: Montgomery County Department of Recreation.
