General Information
We dance on second Saturdays and fourth Fridays from September to August
Dance location “Home” site:
UU Church, 695 Elmwood Ave, Buffalo, NY
* Sometimes we dance on 5th Saturdays, too!
* Most dances run from 7:30 PM – 10:00 PM.
* Contra-basics for newcomer friends at 7:00 PM
* No partner required. Come alone, or with friends and family, or with a significant other, just come!
* No experience required. Beginners welcome! All dances are taught and walked through.
* No special outfits required. We recommend loose, breathable clothing and clean, flat, soft-soled shoes. Sneakers and Hush Puppies are good. Cowboy boots and high heels are NOT good; not only do those shoes damage wooden dance floors, but they are difficult to move around in, and we do move around!
* Parking is available street side, additional parking is at Parish Commons located on the opposite West Ferry and Elmwood Corners. Some limited parking in the lot next to the church is usually for set up/take down crew, band and caller, if arriving after 7 pm and there is space, please feel free to park there. Please DO NOT park in the bank lot, you most likely will be towed.

Dancing Makes Me Feel
“Consciousness expresses itself through creation. This world we live in is the dance of the creator. Dancers come and go in the twinkling of an eye but the dance lives on. On many an occasion when I am dancing, I have felt touched by something sacred. In those moments, I felt my spirit soar and become one with everything that exists.”
