We are moving!

Dear dancers:

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]
