Saturday, September 4 through Saturday, December 18
Presented by North Texas Traditional Dance Society
$4-$8
official website
The main kind of dance we do is called Contra Dancing. It is a form of American folk dance derived from English Country Dancing. It has no fancy footwork, so it is easy (and fun) enough for beginners to enjoy almost immediately, especially with occasional help from our friendly experienced dancers.
By far our most popular activities are the Community Dances we hold at 7:45 p.m. on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Saturdays of every month. These are open to the public and feature live music and a smoke- and alcohol-free environment. No experience is needed, because all the dances are taught. You don't need to bring a partner. We encourage everyone to change partners for each dance.
