Free Public Dance at the Old Stone House!
*The event has already taken place on this date: Thu, 08/21/2025
Come enjoy NYC's most approachable social dance with a Barn Dance as part of Brooklyn Battle Week! Join Brooklyn Contra for an evening of colonial era and modern folk dances to live music. All dances will be taught and appropriate for adults and kids 8 and up, no experience necessary! Contra is an easy-to-learn folk dance (similar to square dancing with some swing dance flair) that comes with a free lesson and amazing live tunes! Originating in northern Appalachia based on English and French formal dances, contra is now danced around the country by multi-generational communities. Bringing a partner isn't necessary as folks switch partners between each dance.
