The next Fourth Sunday Contra Dance will be from 2 to 4:30 p.m. on March 25 at the Gateway Club in downtown Waynesville.

All dances are done to live music. No previous experience with contra dancing is necessary and all dances will be taught and walked through before dancing. No partner is required.

The caller is Diane Silver, to the music of Laura Lengnick, Karen Gaughan and “Out of the Woodwork.”

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.
