Contradition

Contradition are the "House Band" of the Contradition Melbourne contra dance events, held mainly in Melbourne's Eastern suburbs.

The VFMC has a family bush dance on the first Saturday of each month (excluding January). Dances are called so these events are suitable for all ages. A different band is featured each month and everyone is welcome.

Ringwood East Senior Citizens Hall

Melway ref. 50B8

Light supper provided. A plate to share would be appreciated.
No alcohol please.

Next Children's Dance

We regret that the Children's Dances are currently suspended. The VFMC is committed to encouraging the next generations of folkies to participate in all aspects of 'folk' but at this time, lack of participation makes it impossible to run these introductory dances for young people.

The start time for our monthly Family Bush Dances has been brought forward by 30 minutes in an effort to make the events more family friendly. Please come along and bring your young people.
