About Hamilton Contra Dances


Hamilton Contra Dances is a volunteer-run non-profit organization dedicated to organizing and promoting contra dances in Hamilton.


HCD is also a community of dancers, dance organizers, callers, and musicians. When you come to a dance, you are welcomed into that community.
