Cambridge Contra Dance

Hello, we dance American Contra dances in Cambridge (as in Cambridgeshire, England, not Gloucestershire or New Zealand or any other Cambridge you might have come across).

We meet fortnightly on Friday evenings from 8 to 10:15 pm. at St Andrew's Hall, St Andrew's Road, Chesterton, CB4 1DH. The cost is £ 2:00 per evening. Dates

Newcomers are always welcome, either to dance, or to join in the band.

Want to join our mailing list? Send a message (any message) to contra-subscribe@cambridgefolk.org.uk.uk (delete the second uk, it's just there to confuse the spam harvesters). I'm sure you wouldn't want to leave, but a message to contra-unsubscribe will get you off, or to contra-help will get you some reply.

Help yourself to an explanation of what Contra dances are.

This gives you the exact dates and this (streetmap.co.uk) the exact place.
Drivers will probably come round the big Elizabeth Way /Chesterton Road roundabout and should head into Chesterton and take the first real road to the right (Church St, going past St Andrew's Church) and the hall is on the inside of the right hand bend in the road. Entering CB4 1DH into your SatNav will probably take you past the hall to a bit further along St Andrew's St. It should be easy to find somewhere to park on the road in the evenings. On foot or bike you can follow the same route or, if coming from Cambridge, you can either come over the Elizabeth Way bridge and turn right just before the garage and follow St Andrew's Road to the hall or come over the "interesting" new foot/bike bridge by the old gasworks chimney and keep going straight until you hit a real road opposite the hall.

Here is a copy of a flyer if you want to spread the word.
