Contra Dancing in NW Arkansas

Fayetteville Traditional Dance Society

Welcome!

 

The Fayetteville Traditional Dance Society is dedicated to the preservation and enjoyment of traditional American dance and music.

It's been a long time coming but FTDS is finally ready to restart our monthly contra dances. Both the band and the dancers are telling us they're ready. So, let's get moving!


Please note the following changes since our last dance over two years ago:


Our location has changed

We are currently at the American Legion Post 27 at 1195 S. Curtis Ave in Fayetteville (see the map below).  Also, monthly dances will be held on the SECOND Saturday of each month.


You can look forward to an evening full of contras, squares,  circles, and waltzes.  Admission is $10 for two hours of fun and fellowship.  All dances are taught and called. No previous experience or partner is required. It’s easy and fun. Just a short walk through lesson and you’re ready to dance! 


COVID Restrictions

Contra dances cannot work with social distancing and also requires multiple physical contacts during a dance. At some point in the future, we fully expect COVID19 to transition to "endemic" from a "pandemic" and become slightly more annoying then the flu. But until that time, we will require proof of COVID vaccination for admission to the dance. We appreciate your patience and understanding.



FTDS dances are  open to the public and are non-smoking. Dress is casual and we recommend flat comfortable shoes.   The dance begins at 7:00pm with a short beginner instruction.


Adult beverages will be available in the bar adjacent to the main dance floor.


All of our dances have live music  provided by The Old 78s.  You can find them at theold78s.com .
