Our Story

The Friday Night Dance has been a cornerstone of the DC area's cultural landscape since 1974. Starting in the city and moving to Glen Echo in 1981, it has grown to become the largest Contra dance in the DMV area and one of the largest weekly Contra dances in the United States. This vibrant community has evolved over the years, drawing inspiration from various folk dancing traditions and supported by a dedicated volunteer base.

Our Impact

The Friday Night Dance community fosters a unique space for dancers, callers, and bands from around the world to connect, promoting cultural exchange and preserving folk dance traditions.
