Celebrate the 5th Anniversary of the Silver Spring Dance!

On the second Thursday of every month, enjoy the fun as well as the mental and physical health benefits of dancing with others! Are you yearning for more community engagement? More joy? More cultural activities? More exercise? We’ve got it all covered in one stop — come along and dance! (And then join us on the 21st of each month to sing too.And this second Thursday marks 5 years of dancing in downtown Silver Spring, so come join us and celebrate!

No experience required: each session starts at 7:00 pm with a 30-minute lesson, and then dances are “called” from 7:30-10 pm (this means the steps are called out loud so you can follow along). All levels of experience are welcome. April’s dance features musicians Brad Kolodner, Rachel Eddy and Alex Lacquement with caller Gaye Fifer.

The Contra Dances are presented by Carpe Diem Arts in partnership with the Folklore Society of Greater Washington and Washington Revels, with support from BE ACTIVE: Montgomery County Department of Recreation.
