Contra dance is a living American tradition, very social (you'll dance with different partners, and with everyone as you progress up and down the line), and easy to do. If you come at 7 there's a lesson; and the caller teaches and guides each dance. If you can walk, you can dance! Come alone or bring a friend, wear what you like (with comfortable shoes), and dance whichever role you like, gender-neutral. Martha Wild will call this dance, Tom Dillon plays fiddle, and Given Harrison plays guitar. We welcome everyone! San Diego Folk Heritage on Facebook / Instagram
