Northwest Queer Contra Camp is a queer-normative contra dance weekend on an island in Puget Sound with incredible callers and musicians and an enthusiastic and friendly community.
San Francisco Bay Queer Contra Dance’s second annual Northwest Queer Contra Camp welcomes dancers of all identities and experience. We use the calling terms larks and robins, prioritize consent, and have gender-free facilities so that everyone can be included. New dancers will find that contra is an exuberant, social, and easy-to-learn American barn dance with roots in English folk dance.
This year’s camp falls on Halloween and we encourage those who enjoy dressing up to bring Halloween costumes for our Saturday night dance.
Callers: Christa Torrens, Isaac Banner. Bands: Avourneen, The Moving Violations.
Camp costs $300 per person ($125–$475 sliding scale). Food and housing included.
