Contra dancing has a long history in New England, so grab your partner and come to the Portuguese American Club on Vineyard avenue in Oak Bluffs on Saturday, Feb. 8. Join the Flying Elbows and caller Kansas Brew and don’t worry about a partner or your past dancing snafus because experience isn’t required.

Tickets are $10 for adults and kids dance free. You can purchase tickets at Mocha Mott's, Sail Martha’s Vineyard or at the door.

This is a benefit by the Rowing Club for Sail MV.
