We typically dance on the 2nd & 4th Sunday of each month. 
For years, the Hayward Contra has drawn dancers from all over the Bay Area and beyond. 
Some of the unique features that have drawn a loyal following are: 
Hayward is centrally located and the venue, The Hill and Valley Club, 1808 ‘B’ Street, Hayward, CA, is easy to reach by BART or car. 
As a weekend dance, we have attracted dancers with busy work schedules. 
Meeting in the afternoon from 4-7pm, dancers coming from greater distances were able to manage the travel time both before and after the dances. 
Our venue, the Hill and Valley Club, is one of the airiest dance halls in the bay area. 
These features have allowed us to attract a very diverse multigenerational crowd that is comfortable with our gender-neutral atmosphere.
