Contra dancing held in Waynesville

The next Fourth Sunday Contra Dance will be on Sunday, Feb. 26, at the Gateway Club in downtown Waynesville.  

The dancing will begin at 2 p.m. and go on until 4:30 p.m. AnneMarie Walter will call the dance to the music of Out of the Woodwork.

All dances are done to live music and local musicians are invited to sit in with the band.

No previous experience with contra dancing is necessary and all dances will be taught and walked through before dancing. No partner is required.

Contra dancing is a form of English country dancing and uses many of the same figures as square dancing such as circles, stars and swings.
