We're back to our regularly scheduled programming with a traditional contra dance! ☀️ We're excited to see all of you as the days get longer and warmer. 😄

(More info in alt text)
Thanks to everyone who took our community survey! We've begun to implement some of the feedback, and we're still in discussion about making more significant changes (i.e. regarding our COVID policy). We'll keep you all updated as we make these decisions. All dances are taught; no partner or experience necessary. Note: We will not be providing rapid COVID tests, since we no longer have an affordable bulk supplier for this. We will let y'all know if this changes in the future! Monday, April 14, 2025 Dancing from 7:30pm to 10:00pm Admission: $5-15 sliding scale, cash preferred Location: Eagles #34, 2507 E. 25th St, Minneapolis, MN Caller: David Kirchner Band: Too Old Cat Admission: $5-15 sliding scale, cash preferred People under 16 dance for free. This is to keep the dance affordable for families and promote an intergenerational space. We ask that you either rapid antigen test in the 2 hours before the dance, or wear a high-quality mask (N-95, KN-95 or similar). Thanks for being awesome and keeping us all safer!

Welcome, everyone! We've decided to open up a bluesky account to spread our event info here (as well as Facebook and Instagram). Please hmu if you know any local bluesky groups who'd be interested in Queer Contra! 😁💛

It's time for an extra special edition of Techno Contra! 🪩👽💃 This dance will be DJed and called by Mattie, who is a local legend when it comes to techno contra. Pull out your bright, fluorescent, or reflective clothes (optional) and come jam out to some techno and pop tunes while contra dancing!
