CONTRA DANCE
- Fun social dance
- A live band and a caller
- Enjoyable
- Good Exercise
- Good for the body and brain
- You don’t need a partner.
Contra dance is co-sponsored by the Santa Barbara Recreation Department.
The best description we’ve heard is that with each dance we build a carousel, then jump on and ride it. Great fun for the brain and the body. Join us for great fun! Every dance is a new experience.

We celebrate new dancers! Help grow our fun community! We are a community, so please help everyone get to dance. Don't book ahead. Watch for people sitting on the side and ask them to dance! Reach out of your comfort zone to make folks feel welcome. You might make a life-long friend
Policies of the State of California do not allow us to require masks or vaccinations, since we are co-sponsored by the City of Santa Barbara, whose policies follow the state's, but we support those who chose to wear a mask.
The band takes a break in the middle. At the end of each half, you can dance a waltz. And during the break (with snacks), recorded music is played for East and West Coast swing dance, Country Dance, and more.
