Sunday Matinee Contra Dance (All Ages)

Hosted By Coeur d'Alene Public Library

Join us for a free community Contra Dance, sponsored by the Spokane Folklore Society. Contra dancing is a type of traditional folk dance from New England. Dancers face each other in “contra” lines and move up and down the formation as couples, in figures directed by a caller. The Virginia reel is a dance in this style.
