Experience joyful social dancing to great live music at the North Bayside Grange on Saturday evening, May 31st from 6-9pm. This friendly gathering is open to all. Singles and couples can all have fun together at the Bay Area Contra Dance featuring three hours of invigorating social dance. This monthly event is sponsored by the South Coast Folk Society. It’s 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 fun, 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 Outstanding Open Band. Experienced callers 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.
