Contra dances are occasionally held at other sites in Carson City, Virginia City, and elsewhere locally. Check out the acoustic music website for lots more activities with old-time dancing, singing, and music.

New to contra dancing? Please come at 7:15 PM for beginners' session.

Contra dancing is fun, sociable, and aerobic, and is always done to LIVE music! Check out our photos with the "Photos" link on the left and also other sites under "Links" showing real clips of contra dancing. We have recently added links to a great series of instructional videos on contra dancing.
