Contra Dance

About

Looking for a fun, zero-pressure way to hang out, hear great music, and meet new people? Come join the Contra Club at NC State for a night of live music and dancing!

If you have absolutely zero dance experience, you are our favorite kind of guest. Contra dancing is all about having fun, not being perfect. Our club is super welcoming, incredibly chill, and we promise you’ll feel right at home the second you walk through the door.

Here is the game plan for the night:

• 6:30 PM | The Beginner Lesson: Show up here! We’ll walk through all the basic moves in a super relaxed, slow-paced intro session. You’ll see just how easy it is before the main event starts.

• 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM | The Main Dance: We’ll dance the night away to an incredible live band! A caller will guide everyone through the steps for every single dance, so you’re never left guessing what to do.

No partner? No problem. You don’t need to bring anyone with you to participate. We mix up and switch partners throughout the night, making it the perfect place to make new friends.

Just want to hang out? If you’re not feeling up to dancing, come anyway! Grab a seat, relax, listen to the awesome live folk music, and just enjoy the vibe. There is absolutely no pressure to get on the floor.

What to wear: Whatever you’re comfortable in! T-shirts, shorts, jeans, or skirts—anything goes. Just wear comfortable shoes (like sneakers) because we will be moving around.

Come for the lesson, stay for the music, and leave with a bunch of new friends. For more details and a sneak peek at what contra dancing looks like, check out our website at contradanceswithwolves.weebly.com.

We can’t wait to meet you!
