Brown University Contra Dance


The Brown University contra dance has been running for over ten years.  It is currently held first and third Fridays when Brown is in session.  The dance runs from 8 - 11:30 and is located in Leung Gallery, a room in Faunce House, which is located along the Waterman Street side of the main green of the university.  Directions

All are heartily welcome as the dance is an excellent mix of students and community members.  No need to come with a partner, one can come alone, but people do tend to have a great time when they come with a group of friends.  Don't worry if you're a beginner either, it will be a ton o' fun.  As of  Fall 2007, the price is $7 general admission and $5 students (full-time students from any school).

The dance is just a block away from Thayer Street which has lots of restaurants, cafes, bars, shops, and is basically a hub for interesting East Side life.  So come early for dinner or go for a drink afterward - make it a contra dance evening on the town!

For more dance info, contact Julia . For musician and caller info, contact Andy.

NOTE: This season, the dance is being extended to 11:30 for your dancing pleasure!
