Mt Airy Contra is now offering both online [through May 2022] and in-person [resumed March 2022] contra dancing!

Join us live from 8:00 to 9:15 pm for fun online dancing with fantastic local and national bands and callers. Doors open at 7:45. Our bands announce their tunes so that you can play along from home. Hang out after the dance for conversation with dancers near and far.

Virtual dances hosted by Mt. Airy are listed below.

Virtual contra dances presented by the All Hands In partnership are now two Tuesdays per month, starting in June! See allhandsin.dance for info.
