Contra Dance — including contras, squares, rounds, and several other types of group folk dances — to live music, every Third Thursday of the month, year-round at the Macon County Library in Franklin, NC and at Cowee School. Each dance is taught, and then instructions continue to be called in time to the music by an experienced “caller.” Beginners are most welcome!
Different callers and bands each month add to the variety!
