Lenox Contra Dance Series
Welcome
Come join us contra dancing to live music. We have a different band and caller each month. Dances are held on Third Saturday nights in Lenox, Massachusetts in the Lenox Community Center, at 65 Walker Street. Experience the pleasure of dancing on a beautiful wood floor, in a high-ceiling second floor accessible ballroom with a raised stage.
Admission is $12-15 for adults and $8-10 for students. New Dancers - 2nd dance free!
Dances begin with a 15 minute beginner introduction at 7:15 followed by dancing from 7:30 to 10:30. Refreshments are offered during the social break from dancing.
All the dances are taught. No partner necessary. Come alone or bring friends.
Dancing and laughter are better shared, viruses not so much. If you are feeling ill, please stay home and take care of yourself. We'll be happy to see you at the next dance.
