The Lancaster Contra Dance happens every 3rd Saturday of the month, except for July.
Whether you're an experienced dancer, or have never attended a dance before, you'll find that our community is warm and welcoming. It is NOT necessary to attend the dance as a couple.
Admission prices:- Adults: $8
- Students: $5
- Children 15 and younger: FREE
- (717)-431-7417
The dance is at the park for the month of August. Don't forget that the dance starts at 7:00pm!
Due to higher gasoline prices, we decided to give our musicians and callers a raise. To cover this cost, we have raised admission prices for adults and students to $8 and $5 respectively. This goes into effect for the August 2008 dance.
