Note: 2nd Saturday dances are held year-round. The 4th Saturday dances are held monthly EXCEPT in July, August and December. 5th Saturday dances are cancelled until further notice. There are English Country Dances at Munson Library on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month.
If you haven't yet been to a contradance, we invite you to attend! Come alone, or bring a partner, family, or friends. The dances naturally mix everyone, and new dancers learn from experienced dancers. Contradancing is fun, social, and good exercise, and it's done in a smoke-free and alcohol-free environment. Best of all...it's done to wonderful live music!
A Wednesday night contradance series started in downtown Amherst in September 2010. For schedule and other info, see the Amherst Downtown Contradance website.
