Welcome to Louisiana Contra and Squares

Don't be shy, cher! Come and laisse le bon temps rouler! Come dance with us, you don't need a partner and we truly welcome beginners. Every event is preceded with a 15 mn short lesson, and all dances are "called" (i.e. cued throughout) and walked through beforehand anyway!

Contras and squares are a very gentle and low impact form of exercise. Everyone dances with everyone else, so this is also a good way to meet new people and make new friends.   All events are with live music but still very affordable (usually $5 in Lafayette and $6 in Baton Rouge).   Please visit our Events page for a calendar and details, and More Info for links and pictures.   You can also watch videos of past dances on YouTube, and see the latest and chat with us on FaceBook
