The Vincennes Colonial/Contra Dance Group invites the public to attend the following FREE dances held at the Old Town Players Theatre and Arts Center, 5th and Broadway in Vincennes.

The dance group operates on a low budget with the aim being to provide free dances, doing dances like our ancestors did in days long ago. These type dances are done in many cities yet around the US and in many foreign countries.

Contra is the name given to a large cluster of enjoyable organized group dances which enable you to dance with your partner as well as most of the other dancers on the floor.

Dances are called so there is little to memorize and are usually done on a beginner level.

No experience is necessary as well as no partner being necessary.

Dancers of all ages are welcome.

January 7th and 21st and Feb 11th, will be Contra dancing with some practice offered at 7 pm and dancing until 9:30 pm.

February 19th (Saturday), we deviate to offer a FREE dance with CAJUN dancing to CAJUN music.

With the annual Vincennes Mardi Gras held one week later you can have a head start on doing fun Cajun dancing. Again it will be from 7 pm to 9:30 pm.
