  • When: Friday, June 9, 2023,  7:15 pm - 10:00 pm
  • Location: Tallahassee Senior Center Ballroom

Join us Friday, May 12th for a fun community contra dance! Orlando's Alice Raibourne will be calling the dances and Tallahassee's own Greasy String Band will be playing live tunes.

Tallahassee community contra dances have resumed in the Senior Center Ballroom on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of each month! Contra dancing is a wholesome, upbeat, beginner-friendly American folk dance for all ages. It shares many moves with square dancing (such as swing your partner and do-si-do) and is danced in long lines to live music. The bands and callers vary each night. No dance experience is needed. Those new to contra dancing are strongly encouraged to come by 7:15 when a Beginner Lesson will be taught, and as dances are taught in more detail early in the evening. Wear comfortable clothes and flat shoes.
