Bristol Contra Dance is a communal-style folk dance very similar to a Ceilidh. No partner or experience is necessary. A caller leads the dancers through a series of moves. All calling is gender free.Matt and Laurel regularly play together, but this time they are throwing themselves into contra, rather than ceilidh & other things.
Mark Elvins is making his Gender Free calling Debut having called for many years. Jake Wood is sharing the calling, so be prepared for some good old caller banter, and some great interesting dances.
Jake's aim is to make sure Mark is calling the dance before the interval, so he can be first in line for the cheese.
We are heading back to our previous home in the Faith Space Chapel. It's nice and close to Temple Meads and comes with free parking. Check the new Bristol Clean Air Zone information carefully, as this may effect you.
Cheese in the break is back in full force, along with tea, coffee and cordial. You are welcome to bring your own things. Please don't bring alcohol, as this is the venue rule.
Bristol Contra is committed to not having the cost of a dance be a hindrance to anyone attending. Suggested prices available on the door:
Students £6
Adults £10
Supporters Ticket £15.
The new supporters ticket is a fair representation of what the event costs to run, and supports fair fees for the Band and Caller. It is entirely voluntary.
So bring your smiles and your joy and come join us for amazing social dancing. Absolutely all welcome of any level of experience for great dancing to some amazing gender-free calling and brilliant music!
