Contra dancing is a form of social folk dancing from North America. It is similar to English country dancing, using many of the same figures, but the style is more modern and smooth, with some French influence. You don't need to have done any dancing before to be able to start contra dancing; each dance is taught and called continuously. You can bring a friend for a partner or you can borrow one from us. Come join us for a dance on our regular meeting night (second Thursday of each month) and see how much fun contra dancing is.
There will be no Flying Clouds Contra in Stockport in August as we will be heading off to the summer festivals.

There are also regular Contra Dances in Leeds, Cambridge, London, Newbury and Box, Wiltshire. Details of other Contra Dances can be found on the Contra Dance UK web site.
