Contra dance is a type of American folk dance done to live music. It is very beginner friendly; there's no fancy footwork, and a caller teaches and prompts the dances. It's also very difficult to describe, so check out our videos. All our dances are called with larks and robins as the names for the two dance roles. That means you can dance with everyone.
