Welcome to the Pittsburgh Contra Dance community web page.  We dance Fridays at the Swisshelm Park Community Center.  See the schedule and directions pages for more details.

Contra dance is a fun, social activity.  We welcome all ages and experience levels from absolute beginners to long-time dancers.  Our dances feature live music and all dances are taught.  Bring yourselves, bring your friends, join the fun.  Dances start at 8pm, with a beginner’s lesson at 7:30pm. The cost is generally $8 for adults and $5 for students.

Still have questions?  Wondering what to expect when you show up at a dance?  See our Frequently Asked Questions page.
