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-$25 (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. For more details, see our accessibility information.
