The Maryville Contra Dance group does contras, squares, and occasionally English Country set dances. This type of dance has a devout and enthusiastic following around the world.

Are you new to contra dancing? Part of the fun of contra dancing is that it is challenging and requires some learning. If you have experience with square dancing though, you'll already be familiar with many of the dance calls used in contra dancing. Most new dancers find this takes several weeks of attending the dance, but once you know the moves, you've got it for good! New dancers do best when they seek out experienced dance partners while they are learning. And, experienced dancers are always encouraged to seek out partners who are new dancers.

Due to limited interest, Friday night dances have been suspended. We apologize for any inconvenience.
