THREE DAYS OF Contra DANCE, Music & SONG in NYC
We’ll See You Back in NYC Oct. 24-26th!
Is This Just ContraShock?
For the last 10 years Brooklyn Contra has been pleased to co-produce ContraShock! This year we’re back with something just a little bit brand new. Same amazing venue, more great bands, even more dancing, and even more Brooklyn Contra flair! Oh! We’re also gonna have a snazzy final name…soon!
Our 2025 Artists
We’re joined this year by some of America’s best contra talent, including Kingfisher, Will Mentor, The Red Case Band, and Some Assembly Required! Together they’re spanning genres with funky modern contra sounds, classic New England tunes, and everything in between.
Plus we’ll have Sunday morning workshops, live break music, and more!
