1980’s Music Community Contra Dance
Lace up your dancing shoes and tease your hair—contra dance goes full 1980s!
Join us for a high-energy community contra dance set to totally rad ’80s-inspired tunes, spun by DJ Butterfly Cari.
There will be a brief lesson before the dance. Contra dancing is a beginner friendly style of dance.
Expect joyful dancing, neon vibes, and a costume contest celebrating all things leg warmers, big hair, glam, and retro flair.
Whether you come full Madonna, New Wave, or classic contra-with-a-twist, this is a night to dance like it’s 1985!
