LATEST NEWS: For our first dance of the season we welcome Contra-Alt Delete, a vibrant young London and Coventry based band who have played at many of the best known Contra Dances in the UK. An exciting and talented band for now and the future. Our Caller is the equally young and talented Jake Wood.

June's Contra was a great success with Mark Elvins and Double Dichotomy who combined well  for a splendid evenings dancing while Royal Oak Morris from Eydon gave their usual splendid  performance of Cotswold Morrisduring the interval.

Traditional dancing for EVERYONE

About Us

We are a voluntary non-profit making organisation dedicated to the promotion of traditional Folk Dance in Northamptonshire. We are affiliated to the English Folk Dance and Song Society.

English Ceilidh is high energy mixture of traditional and other dances from Great Britain and elsewhere. We dance to live music from amazing bands who each play their own brand of traditional / fusion music.

Contra dances are American style dances which are often faster and more intricate than our Ceilidh dances.

Many of the moves, however, are common to both as both have their roots in the same traditional dances.

Another thing they have in common is that they are great fun to do and a fine way to meet new people and make friends. A bonus is that they keep you fit at the same time!
