The
Reston contra dance started in 1983. The house
band since the beginning has been the June Apple Band,
consisting of a lively mix of fiddle, clarinet, mandolin-banjo-guitar,
and piano. Top-notch callers from the Washington
area lead the dances. Our dance provides
a warm, welcoming atmosphere in the cold winter months
for new and experienced dancers alike.
Potluck goodies are enjoyed during the break.
