Description: First Saturday of every month The dancing from 8:00 PM until 11 PM. Workshop for dance basics at 7:30 PM. Admission is sliding scale $12-20. $30 family, or pay what you can. Gender-free roles will be used for this evening: Larks and Robins. Contra dance is a fun, easy style of folk dance that has flourished in New England since the 1700s. Partners form lines and dance a short sequence of steps with their neighbors. Over the course of the dance, each couple travels the length of the line and dances with every other couple. Dancers are welcome to bring a partner or a group of friends but it’s not necessary – traditionally, dancers are encouraged to change partners throughout the evening. The dance takes place in the historic Town House in Peterborough, NH at 1 Grove Street. For more information, call 603-547-5831 or visit www.facebook.com/peterboroughcontra. The Monadnock Folklore Society has presented contra dances and concerts of traditional music since 1982.
