Experience the joy of congenial social dancing to great live music at the North Bayside Grange on Saturday evening, March 22nd. All dancers are welcome at the Bay Area Contra Dance starting at 6:00pm. This special event is sponsored by the South Coast Folk Society. Join us for a light-hearted community gathering appropriate for teens and adults. There will be live music all evening, plus dance instruction and calling. This event is free, and open to everyone age 12 up. New dancers are always welcome. No prior experience or partner is required at this alcohol- and fragrance-free event.

Contra Dancing is joyful and easy to learn, like an old-time barn dance. It’s a delightful way to socialize to beautiful, uplifting music. Come swing your partner and do-si-do to the foot-stomping music of the Folk Society Open Band. Caller Becky Nankivell will provide a lesson for new dancers at 6:00pm, and expert calling all evening. Wear casual clothes and comfortable shoes. Please join us on the dance floor, or relax and enjoy fine music.
