Bristol Contra Dance is a communal-style folk dance very similar to a Ceilidh. Contra originated in the USA. A caller leads the dancers through a series of figures that are explained before each dance starts. No partner or experience is necessary. We have an inclusive vibe, welcoming dancers of all ages. All calling is gender free.

We dance at Faithspace. It's nice and close to Temple Meads and comes with plenty of free parking.

They'll be tea, coffee and Cheese available in the break and sometimes entertainment.

Bristol Contra is committed to not having the cost of a dance be a hindrance to anyone attending. Suggested prices available on the door by either cash or paypal:
Students £6
Adults £10
Supporters Ticket £15.
The supporters ticket is a fair representation of what the event costs to run, and supports fair fees for the Band and Caller. It is entirely voluntary.

So bring your smiles and your joy and come join us for amazing social dancing. Absolutely all welcome of any level of experience for great dancing to some amazing gender-free calling and brilliant music!
