Ann Arbor Community for Traditional Music and Dance
You and your friends need to put those video games away and
get yourselves to the
2nd Saturday Contra Dance Party
- First-time and experienced contra dancers welcome
- Variety of great callers and musicians each month
- Occasional Saturday afternoon special events and pre-dance potlucks or weekends
New Location: 7:30-10:30 pm, second Saturdays September through June, Concourse Hall, 4531 Concourse Dr., Ann Arbor, MI 48108 . See Upcoming Events below. Questions? 2ndsat@aactmad.org
Beginners are welcome: Unless otherwise noted in an announcement, beginners are always welcome. There is an introductory session 30 minutes before the dance, so first-timers come early. Come alone or bring a friend. Anyone can ask anyone else to dance; experienced dancers are happy to help new people. It's a common practice to change partners after each dance sequence, and it works well while you're learning the basics; after that, it's up to you. Wear cool, comfortable clothes and flat shoes that aren't sticky. We participate in the AACTMAD New Dancer coupon program.
