May I Have This Dance?
CCD dances every Friday at the Clarkston Community Center* and on 1st, 3rd, and 5th Tuesdays at Messiah Lutheran Church.
Please see our Schedule page for dates, times, and other information.
You can find other essential information about our Dance on the About CCD page.
*The Clarkston Community Center is a public facility, which we share with individual / groups of non-dancers on Friday nights. As there is no place at CCC in which valuables can be secured you are urged to leave items that you value at home or carry them on your person while you dance. Anything brought into the Hall is at your own risk.

Policies: Loved Ones at the Dance
- Children:
- Children are welcome to dance with us! For the safety of all, children may not be in the dance hall itself unless they are actually participating in the dance. Children in the lobby and hallways must be capable of behaving appropriately and parents are responsible for their children's behavior (and for their misbehavior).
- Pets:
- Experiencing an allergy or phobia attack can really put a damper on a dancer's evening so please leave your animal companions at home. You may want to show them a YouTube clip or the contra dance instruction DVD we have available though (see below) so they know what you are up to when you're gone.
Lights, Camera, Action!
