Unless noted otherwise, all dances take place on the first Saturday of the month. An introductory lesson begins at 6:30 p.m.
We dance in the Cafeteria, to the east of the Gym on the Oaklawn campus.
A typical evening follows this schedule:
Lesson for beginners: 6:30-7:00 (This is helpful if you’re new to contra.)
First Session: 7:00-8:15 (3+ musical sets, depending on the crowd)
Break
Second Session: 8:30-9:30 or 10:00 (3+ musical sets, depending on the crowd)
All dances are “two sessions” unless otherwise noted. We sometimes have a caller and band who are willing to stay a little later to keep the fun going. If that’s the case, it will be noted on the events page as “three sessions”.
