This Sunday 11/9 – Contra Dance at Chattanooga Market

What is Contra Dance??? Contra Dancing is a form of American folk dance where the dancers form a set of two parallel lines. Each dance consists of a sequence of moves that ends with couples having progressed one position up or down the set. As the sequence is repeated, a couple will eventually dance with every other couple in the set. Many of the basic moves in Contra Dancing are similar to those in square dancing (swings, promenades, dos-à-dos, allemandes). A square dance set consists of only four couples whereas the number of couples in a Contra Dance set is limited only by the length of the First Tennessee Pavilion! Come and join the fun – no experience necesary!
