Wyoming Valley Contra Dance

Wyoming Valley Contra Dance

A free introductory workshop begins at 7:15pm.
Dances are held at the Church of Christ Uniting in Kingston (directions below).

Newcomers and people of all ages, with or without a partner, are welcome and can learn the steps the first night.

Contra dancing can be done with a walking step, so that even dancers who are not c...onfident can be easily included. The dancing is energetic and involves mixing with the other dancers as each couple performs a short routine with another couple before progressing onto the next couple and repeating the sequence.
