Southern Illinois Community Contra Dance

Community Contra Dance

Join us for a welcoming community contra dance—a joyful, social folk dance done in long lines with partners and neighbors. No experience is needed, and all dances are taught and called throughout the evening.

Music is provided via a DJ-style caller, combining recorded tunes with clear, supportive calling to keep the dance flowing and accessible for beginners and experienced dancers alike.

Come solo or with friends. You’ll change partners, meet new people, and move together in an easygoing, friendly atmosphere.

No experience needed

All ages welcome

Comfortable shoes encouraged

Contra dance is about connection, movement, and shared joy—everyone is welcome on the dance floor.
