Contra Dancing


A Truly Social Dance and Community Builder













It's Fun - It's Easy - It's for Everybody


Have you thought about having a contra dance for your next event?

It is a great experience for just about everyone and is perfect for 


Wedding Receptions - Youth Groups - Birthday Parties

CC Groups - Churches - Community Dances

Anybody for Any Reason!


Contra Dancing is great because of its simplicity and it gives everyone a chance to dance - even those who "can't dance." Contra is not a sensual or dance-really-close kind of thing.  It is a social dance that has been around since the early 1600's, at least.  One of the neat hallmarks of the Contra is Live Music and a Live Dance Caller.    


Come join in the sheer fun of it and

have a Contra Dance at your next Happening!

A bunch of kids enjoying Contra.  More than half of these kids had never contra'd before but this amazing bunch picked it up in no time!  "Thank you, Kingsfriend, I had an awesome time!" - said one young man. You're welcome!
