Starting with our October 2019 event we will dance at a hall that is dear to many of us:
Lake Murray Contra Hall!
 |
| Lake Murray Contra Hall |
Lake Murray Contra Hall was built specifically to hold Contra dances. Many dancers in South Carolina began dancing at LM Contra. The hall has a fantastic, floating and leveled floor, lots of comfy sitting, a separate snack area, a nice stage, great sound, and an awesome surrounding. There is plenty of parking.
The street address is 640 Devil’s Backbone Road, Leesville, SC 29070 [Map]
