Why We Love Contra

Community is at the center of contra, and every dance is an expression of that. See what dancers and talent have to say about Atlanta Contra Dance.

"It both invigorates and removes stress. It's happy interaction with people and music that leaves me smiling from head to toe."
Cathy Garmon
"Contra dancing is so phenomenal. It's easy to learn, very interactive, great exercise. It's a very warm and welcoming community, and it's lots of positive energy."
Amy Krafchick
"I dance for the music, the movement, the merriment, the mayhem. In a word I'd say contra dances pure joy."
Anne Robinson
"It is a perfect way for me to end a long work week and to start the weekend right."
Quimin Lam
"It's a link with the past and the future, and I'm very happy that I can be part of it."
