Our contra dances, jointly sponsored by a student organization (the Ohio University
Traditional Dance Club) are held from 8:00 to 11:00 pm on the second Saturday of each month (with rare exceptions) during the academic year.    The dances are held at the new Baker University Center in the multi-purpose room on the 2nd floor.  Baker has a beautiful brand-new hardwood floor.  Directions to Baker Center and to free parking are here. 

Beginners are always welcome.  We encourage you to take part in the beginner's instruction period at 7:30

The cost is $7 for adults,  $3 for students, and $15 for families.
