📝 About This Event
The Austin Barn Dancers host a FREE weekly contra dance with live music by LOCO (Local On-Call Orchestra)! Contra dancing is like square dancing's cooler cousin - lines of dancers move through patterns to lively fiddle tunes. All dances are called and walked through, so no experience needed. Just bring comfortable shoes and a willingness to smile. One of Austin's best free weekly activities!
