Dance Calendar
College students and MFS members are $5! High School students and kids under 18 are FREE! Regular admission is $10.
No experience necessary -- dances are taught from scratch and prompted by a "caller" to live music (fiddle, guitar, etc.)!
Singles, couples, students (K - college), and families are all welcome! MFS members receive discounted admission; join today and support Missoula contra dancing. Please bring soft soled, indoor shoes to dance in and protect the beautiful wood floor. (Full vaccinations are requested and masks are suggested but neither is required.)
Please bring smooth, soft-soled, non-marking shoes to wear at the dance, i.e. not your outdoor shoes. Shoes with a leather sole work well because they slide easily.
There are folks in our community that are scent-sensitive. Please avoid heavy perfumes and heavily scented products when you are preparing for the dance.
Parents: Children are welcome at this family friendly venue but they must be supervised as we do not have dedicated childcare. Contra dancing is an activity for adults and children (6 and older) who are able to dance independently and follow the caller's instructions. For the safety and enjoyment of all, please ensure that your children under the age of 6 stay in the carpeted area with tables and do not enter the dance floor. We encourage you take turns with other parents to provide supervision so that all get a chance to dance some of the time.
