Brooklyn Contra Dance Party

If Swing Dancing and Square Dancing met in a bar, you'd get Contra.  Contra is danced to live music with a partner, although bringing a partner is not necessary, it’s a great way to meet new people!  Couples form parallel lines of dancers and over the course of the dance, they interact with the couple next to them and move up and down the hall interacting with every other couple in their line.  There is no fancy footwork involved, anyone can do it! All the dances are taught and the instructions (calls) are provided from the stage, by the Caller, through out the dance.. As the dance goes on, the Caller provides fewer and fewer prompts until they drop out entirely; leaving you, your partner, and the others in your line to finish the dance, accompanied only by the exciting, pulse pounding music provided by that night's band!  It’s good ol’ fashioned fun right here in Brooklyn!
