Halloween Afternoon Contra Dance with the Spring Chickens!

Join us Saturday, Oct 31, for live music by the Spring Chickens, and calling by David Smuckler! Our wonderful band is visiting from Vermont, and David from Syracuse - come have a fun afternoon dancing in the Memorial Room! Our lesson will be 1:30-2pm, with dancing continuing from 2:00-5:00pm!

Contra has overlap with swing, square, and other American folk dance types. No experience is needed, and you don't need to bring a partner!

A dance held by the Cornell Contra Dance Club. Open to all, but most heavily advertised to undergrad and graduate students. The club was dormant for multiple years, and we are attempting to revive student engagement as of 2024. Our dance April 2025 (in WSH407) was a success, bringing in nearly 40 confirmed Cornell-affiliated attendees and hosting approximately 100 at the event peak. We will host 2-3 musicians of a contracted band for live music at this social dance event.
