Greenwood Contra Dance is still on hiatus. Currently there are not enough volunteers to get the dance running again. If you would like to help, please send us a message.

It has come to our attention that there may be some confusion as there is a contra dance being held at Greenwood Community Center. That dance is called the Rivanna Contra Dance and is held on the third Friday night of the month. It is sponsored by ACCDSS, a non-profit organization in Charlottesville, and is not associated with Contra Corners. More information about that dance can be found here (facebook.com/profile.php?id=100088148297254).

Our talent and our board are concerned about everyone's health with the recent uptick in Covid cases, and the new variant. In addition, Albemarle Parks and Recreation is implementing a mask mandate as of this Monday, August 9th. Therefore, we are putting the series on hold again. Please keep an eye on the page as we will update you as soon as we can!

Are you ready to dance again?

If you are fully vaccinated* - COME DANCE!

On August 8th we will be starting our season with a memorial dance for our dear friend Robert Bowman who unfortunately lost his life while cycling earlier this year. We will be dancing to the tunes of Dusty Hedgehog and Caroline Barnes will be calling.

We are adopting a new admission fee policy - pay what you can. It costs, on average, $250 to put on each dance. We are asking that each dancer keep this in mind when deciding how much to contribute for their admission fee. For historical reference the admission fee has been $10. In addition, for the August 8th dance only, we will be collecting donations in Robert's name for World Bicycle Relief (https://worldbicyclerelief.org).

Please remember that you must be vaccinated (*you will need to show proof or sign confirmation of vaccination) to attend this dance. We will not be able to admit you otherwise. Temperatures will be taken, as well as contact information. If you have recently been exposed to anyone with Covid symptoms, or if you are feeling ill in any way - please stay home.

Lastly, please bring any stories about Robert to share with the community. We will have a time when anyone who would like to share can do so.

We can't wait to see you and dance with you again!

World Bicycle Relief mobilizes people through The Power of Bicycles. We help people conquer the challenge of distance, achieve independence and thrive.
