"Foot it!"—Scottish dancing

The best of modern contra meets rediscovered Scottish dances in a cello-powered, fiddle-fueled dancestravaganza.

Come as you are—no experience or partner necessary. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes (dance shoes encouraged). The calling will be gender-free.

Fall 2019 dates:

Dances run from 7-10PM, and admission is by donation.


We strive to create a safe and inclusive space for all people, and—while we develop our own policy—ask everyone to abide by the etiquette policy defined by the Chicago Barn Dance Company. Anyone with concerns or feedback should contact a board member or the dance caller.
