Don’t miss out on a fun night of contradancing on Saturday, April 13th from 6:00pm-8:00pm in the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception Guild Hall, 307 Congress Street, Portland. Contradance is a traditional American folk dance in the form of line dancing or square dancing. There is a caller who walks you through the steps of the dance, so no experience is necessary. A live band will perform the music. The dance is open to people of all ages. You do not need to bring a dance partner to participate! Donations will be accepted at the door.
