New to Contra Dancing or the Toronto Country Dancers ?

Beginners are welcome at all TCD dances - No partner needed. Contra dancing is a walking step so no fancy footwork to be learned. All music is live (jigs & reels). All dances walked through before the dance. Please come for the 7:00 p.m. Basics Class before the dance.

We hold Contra Dances most second, fourth, and fifth Saturdays from September through June. Please check our Schedule for details. This site is updated regularly. For out of town dances, please follow the "Links" link in the left navigation bar.

We dance at St. Barnabas Church Hall on the Danforth. It's across the road from the Carrot Common and Eastminster United Church, where we hold our Annual Spring Thaw. From the Chester Subway Station walk westwards along the Danforth then south on Hampton Ave. Follow the path through the playground to the doors at the end of the path.

It’s traditional to change partners for each dance, so you will dance with many people during an evening. Dress casually and comfortably in layers. It gets quite warm. All dancers are invited to go out to eat afterwards.

St. Barnabas Hall - Sept 2007

Shoe Policy

We are lucky to have this wonderful floor to dance on. Maintaining such a floor is costly, and the administrator of St. Barnabas has asked us to respect their shoe policy, which is that no street shoes may be worn in the dance hall/gym. Please *bring* an extra pair of shoes to the dance to change into .Click here for more details.
