Contradancelinks.com (including its ancestors) just celebrated its tenth anniversary.

If you are looking for contra dance information and cannot find it here, please e-mail me or check one of the other sites listed below as no one person keeps up with everything that is happening on the contradance scene.

• The New England Folk Festival Association provides an exhaustive list of contra links.
   
  
• Ted Crane has been compiling a database of dances, musicians, and callers. Very extensive with information about future dances across the country.
   
  
• Dwayne Johnson has created a contra dance map with links for the entire United States.
   
  
• Kiran Wagle's A Contradance Page is more than a simple page and includes links to a wide range of articles, groups, information, and dances and while it has not been updated in a while, remains worth visiting for the material that is not time or site sensitive.
   
  
• And, of course, there is the Country Dance & Song Society (CDSS), which has plenty of information about contra dancing along with links and contact information for numerous dance groups.

Bands and callers are listed twice, once in the region in which they are based, the other in the "All Bands and Callers" page. Organizations are listed once, just in the region in which they are based (although if they have an activity in another region, they will be listed there also). The United States is divided into several different regions. The dance at Rehoboth, Massachusetts is the one I attend most often.

Pages have been added for community and open bands (in which you can play at a contra dance) and open caller opportunities. December 2, 2007

I have added lists of links to groups that hold waltz and related partner dances, including Scandinavian, but generally not ballroom, vintage or regency and traditional and old-time square dances (not Modern Western Square Dance (MWSD)). Many of these dances are also done during contra dance sessions and these groups and dancers are similar in style and attitude as the groups and dancers you find at contra dances. As always, corrections and additions to these lists are welcome. September 2, 2007

What was the schedule of dances for Eastern Massachusetts and then expanded to include Rhode Island and Eastern Connecticut, has now been expanded to include all dances in these three states. As a result I have changed the URL slightly. August 2, 2007
