    Time Sun, Aug 16, 2026, 5:00 PM

    Time details Meet at 5pm, dance at 5:30

    Contrapalooza is back! 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 called by local talent and sound provided by NakedHeartsPDX. Each of our dances will have instructions, all calling is non-gendered, and this is an intentionally queer and PoGM welcoming space. Join us! (We practice consent and non-violence on all our rides. Please help make the ride as safe as possible for yourself and others. If you have special needs please come talk to your ride leaders. Banned riders and riders who can't post on the calendar are banned here too. Banned dancers from contra communities are banned here too.)
