Savant Database

We've been going strong since 2004, with a hiatus during the pandemic years.

This is us (a little while ago)

If you're interested in contributing, or have any questions about dancing with us, please contact us at

info@VictoriaContraDance.com, and don't forget to follow us on Facebook

We dance on Saturdays: Introductory session at 7:00 p.m. and dance at 7:30-10:00. Admission $14.

Things to NOTE: Bring soft-soled indoor shoes for dancing (a hall rental requirement to protect the floor).

Dances are fragrance-free AND masks are optional.

We're here to dance! Let's make everyone comfortable.
