1st, 3rd, and 4th Sunday Contra Dances

BIDA hosts contra dances at the Masonic Temple at 1950 Mass Ave., Cambridge MA, in Porter Square. They cost $5-$20 (sliding scale).

If you've never contra danced before and you come to the beginner's workshop, or you bring someone new with you, we'll give you a free pass for a future dance.

BIDA hosts both mask-optional and mask-required dances. Policies for each dance are listed on the schedule below. At mask-required dances high-filtration (KN95 or better) masks are required for people two years and older. All of our dances are gender-free (Larks / Robins calling). The Masonic Hall is not wheelchair accessible, but there is a stair lift. See our accessibility information.
