Are you looking for a different way to spend a Saturday night? Can  
you count to eight and walk in time to music? If so, look no further  
than 112 South Clinton Street, where on the second Saturday of the  
fall and winter months the Southern Tier Contra Dance Society (STCDS)  
sponsors a traditional form of social dance known as contra dancing.  
This style of dance uses some of the same moves as square dancing  
(e.g., swing, dos-a-do), but is done in lines. It requires no fancy  
footwork and all dances are taught by a caller. We welcome people of  
all ages and ability levels, so come out even if you know nothing  
about contra dancing. You'll learn very quickly.  Entire families are  
invited to join the fun.

We always have live music and a live caller.  All ages and levels are  
welcome, and there is no need to bring a partner.  All dances will  
be  taught.  The atmosphere is warm and welcoming.   Bring cool  
clothing even  if the weather is freezing, as you will get warm!
