Tampa Bay Contra Dancing

News

Following the loss of both our former dance venues at the Gulfport Casino and the Polish American Society, TFOOTD board members have been busy trying to find alternate facilities so that we may resume dancing in Tampa Bay. They have now identified a first site to try on a one-time basis and see how it may work for us going forward. Read on…

Our next regular TFOOTD contra dance, will be Sunday, Nov 24th at the Historic Largo Feed Store located at 295 Central Park Drive in Largo, FL. Beginner instructions start at 3:30pm, with experienced dancers encouraged to help during that brief introductory period. The dancing then continues until 7:00pm, with additional instructions given as needed for moves that may be less familiar to newer folks.

Snow Ball 2025 News

It’s Back on!

Snow Ball 2025 was scheduled to take place the weekend of 24-26 January, 2025 at the Gulfport Casino. However, due to severe damage sustained at the Gulfport Casino from the recent hurricanes, the availability of a suitable dance venue to replace the Casino was in doubt for this coming January. Currently the TFOOTD board members are securing an alternate venue, and not too far from the Gulfport Casino. Snow Ball 2025 will be taking place at Boca Ciega High School at 925 58th Street S in Gulfport, FL on those same dates.

In the meantime, watch this space for further announcements about registration for Snow Ball 2025, which will open as soon as possible now that we can move forward again. The Snow Ball dance committee will also be sending email messages about the status of this to all those who have danced with us before and are on our general distribution list. Once registration is open, it will be available on our website at floridasnowball.com.
