Join us on Saturday for our foot-stomping monthly contra dance at the Dorothea Laub Dance Place, 2650 Truxtun Rd. in Liberty Station. The dance is in Studio 200, on the second floor. The dance proper will be from 7:30 to 10:00 pm with a beginners’ session at 7:00 for newcomers, anyone who wants to knock off some of the rust, and those who would like to help them do it while meeting new friends.

The fee is a sliding scale, we ask that dancers pay the right amount for them on a scale of $15 to $25. Money collected beyond covering expenses goes to the talent. We do have teen, student, and active military discounts.

A note about shoes: the Marley floor at the Dorothea Laub Dance Place is more sensitive to damage than other floors we dance on, so we have to request no high-heeled dance shoes. Please wear dance shoes with soft or suede bottoms, sneakers/running shoes specifically used for dancing and not worn on the street, or ballet slippers. Alternatively, it is available to dance in socks or barefoot. Some dance shoes and most shoes worn for regular street use can damage the dance floor. We provide cleaning equipment that can solve some issues, and we offer the option to dance in socks or barefoot, but if we determine that your shoes are damaging to the floor, we may ask you to change your shoes or dance barefoot or in socks. Please feel free to reach out via email with specific questions or concerns.

Note: the property owner has asked us to remind people that there is no smoking/vaping in the building or on the property.

There is a water fountain, but you may want to bring your own water.

Parking is available in the lots to the north of the building across the street, on street, and at Liberty Station.
