Chattanooga Traditional Dance Society presents an April Showers Contra Dance on Saturday from 7:30-11 p.m., featuring calling by Jane Ewing and music by Besides the Point.
CTDS dances take place at Brainerd United Methodist Church, Lundy Hall, 4315 Brainerd Road in Chattanooga. Admission is $8; $5 for students and seniors.
"Everyone is invited to join our welcoming, family-friendly community and enjoy this lively, traditional social dance. No need to bring a partner. All dances are taught in walk-throughs. Toe-tapping live music makes even sitting out enjoyable. Contra dancing is fun, aerobic exercise," officials said.
Dancers are asked to wear comfortable, casual clothes and bring a separate pair of clean, soft-soled shoes for dancing. Hard-soled boots or shoes are not allowed on the dance floor.
There is always a Contra Basics lesson for newcomers at 7:30 p.m.
The Chattanooga Traditional Dance Society has been sponsoring contra dances for over 20 years.
