 Foothill Country Dancers promotes New England-style contra dancing in the northern Sierra Nevada foothills. Contra dancing is non-commercial, do-it-yourself, socially inclusive, community-building, participatory, musically driven recreation. No experience is necessary--all dances are taught and prompted, and no partner is required. The music is always live. FCD sponsors the annual 12-hour sprung-floor dance festival Fall Has Sprung, and two regular monthly dances: |

Nevada City Odd Fellows Hall, 212 Spring St. 1st Saturdays |
Newcastle (formerly in Auburn)
Newcastle Portuguese Hall, 690 Taylor Rd. 3rd Saturdays |
