DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY Our 2026 Contra Dance THURS. JULY 2 AT 6 PM. Open to everyone that wants to come not just Barrington residents! Get ready to kick off the July 4th weekend and kick up your heels at the Barrington Library! Join us for a lively evening of Contra Dancing with Live Music! —a fun, high-energy social dance that’s been bringing communities together for generations. No experience? No problem! and.. NO need to bring a partner! Contra dance is easy to learn and all about moving in lines with a partner (and your neighbors!) to the rhythm of upbeat folk music. We’ll have the live band "Woody & the West Side Warblers" setting the pace and the friendly dance caller Don Heinold who will guide you through every step, so you can jump right in and enjoy the fun. Expect plenty of laughter, great music, and a welcoming atmosphere where everyone is invited to participate. Festive red, white, and blue dress encouraged! Co-sponsored by The Barrington 250 Committee.
