New England Contra Dancing for the entire community.
Dances are usually held on the first Saturday of the month.
Dancing from 7pm to 10pm!
Dances are held at the Church of Christ Uniting in Kingston
(directions below).
You can download and print yourself a copy of our
Spring 2020 flyer.
A pot-luck dinner for dancers begins at 6pm. Please bring
a dish to pass.
Newcomers and people of all ages, with or without a partner,
are welcome and can learn the steps the first night.
A short introduction to contra dancing starts at 6:45pm.
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).
Childcare needed? Please contact us a week in advance, and
we may be able to arrange childcare. Contact us at the
Email address at the bottom of the page.
Need some help in car pooling? Check with us at the dance and
we will try to match you with travelers from the same neighborhood.
Admission is "pay what you wish."
Please visit us at our
Facebook page,
where you can read comments from dancers
and even watch videos of past dances.
