Colorado Friends Of Old Time Music And Dance is a non-profit organization that runs community, participatory dances such as contra dances with live music and calling in the Denver and Boulder metro area of Colorado. No prior dance experience is necessary, and nearly all our dances are preceded by a lesson. Community dances are very social by nature; married and unmarried couples, singles accompanied with friends or arriving alone, and anyone from age 9 to 90 who enjoys dancing are welcome. It's okay to come and just check things out too. Children are welcome at dances if supervised by a responsible adult.

Information about other (non-CFOOTMAD) dances around Colorado can be found under the "Dances" / "Other" tab.
