The Dance Gypsy’s

Links to regularly-scheduled contra and folk dances

The links on this page find existing contra, folk or other traditional dances, thus providing access to these listings without going through the regular Dance Gypsy search process. This is useful for many reasons:

Note that Ffor a very few combinations (e.g., contra in Massachusetts) there will be too many to list in a single search. But this should find at least one example from every known dance series. Also note that the Dance Gypsy now lists regularly-scheduled events throughout the US and Canada (not just New England). Some states may not yet have any dances listed. (The number in parentheses is the number of distinct dance series). You may list dances sponsored by your organization at www.thedancegypsy.com.

All dances in the Dance Gypsy by state.
