CFCD Event Schedule

The Cape Fear Contra Dancers meet 7:30 to 9:30 PM on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday evenings of each month. (NOTE: April, 2012, will be an exception. See the schedule below.) Normally these dances are held at the 5th Avenue United Methodist Church in historic downtown Wilmington.   We ask for a donation of $4.00.

We also hold dances one Saturday evening of each month, January through May, 2012, from 7:30 to 11:00 PM. These dances are normally held at the 5th Avenue United Methodist Church.    We ask for a donation of $7.00 from CFCD members, $10.00 from non-members, and $5.00 for students with an Id.

We encourage dancers to pay $20 for a one-year membership. Your membership helps to defray the expenses of our Saturday dances not covered by donations at the door. As a special inducement to join the Dancers, donate $10.00 for a first-time membership.
