1st and 3rd Sunday Contra Dances
BIDA hosts a contra dance on the first and third Sunday of every month at the Masonic Temple at 1950 Mass Ave., Cambridge MA, in Porter Square. These run 7:30-10:30 and cost $5-$20 (sliding scale).
If you've never contra danced before and you come to the 7pm beginner's workshop, or you bring someone who hasn't, we'll give you a free pass for a future dance.
BIDA hosts both mask-optional and mask-required dances. Policies for each dance are listed on the schedule below. At mask-required dances high-filtration (KN95 or better) masks are required for people two years and older. All of our dances are gender-free (Larks / Robins calling). The Masonic Hall is not wheelchair accessible. For more details, see our accessibility information.
