Join us for our first Contra Dance of 2026! We’re hosting a dance especially for beginner contra dancers, so this is your chance to try it out and swing into your new years resolution! We’ll have live music and expert teaching from caller Lyss Adkins!

This dance is free for all members of Brooklyn Contra (at any level) and to all members of CDNY!

Join us for the NYC debut of this amazing Boston band, The Second Floor featuring Cecilia Vacanti, and calling from Daniel Levine!

Join us for a getting ready for Dance Flurry workshop with Maia McCormick and live music from the High Strung. Lots of people think that the “best” dancers are the ones who do the fanciest flourishes, but we know better: they’re the ones doing un-flashy and fascinating work of keeping the dance working and keeping their fellow dancers safe. Come learn the skills to help struggling dancers, straighten lines, and keep your set together: become Contra Superglue (and have fun while doing it!).

Coming in from Philly we have the fantastic High Strung, four multi-instrumentalists who keep the energy all the way up! They’ll be joined by Maia McCormick calling funky and fascinating contras with panache and maybe just a few puns.

Join us for a house concert as part of the album launch tour of Fiddle-and-Cello Duo Kate Gregory & Brendan Hearn debut Album One Year Since.

“It doesn’t get any groovier than Kate and Brendan playing together,” says acclaimed fiddler George Jackson of Tall Poppy Stringband. “If you get the chance to get in between their musical-mind-meld with your ears, do it.”

Back for their traditional post-Flurry-Festival tour, Kingfisher will once again grace our Brooklyn Stage with funky grooves, along with the calling of Alex Deis-Lauby!
