  • Contrapalooza - Bike & Contra Dance

    Contrapalooza - Bike & Contra Dance


    Sun Jul 13, 2025

    Meet at Buckman Elementary School playground blacktop, Sunday, June 8th @5pm.
    Contrapalooza is back! Dancing? Biking? YES. Join us for a night of lively folk dance with smiley humans as we ride and dance our way around Portland. This ride is designed for beginners to learn how to contra dance, no experience needed! Just bring a good attitude and willingness to make mistakes. We will roll around town with dance stops and enjoy sound by Naked Hearts PDX. Each of the dances will have instructions, all calling is non gendered, and this is an intentionally queer and BIPOC welcoming space. Join us!
    This is a free community event
