The North Alabama Country Dance Society (NACDS), recently called the North Alabama Contra Dance Society and the Blue Moon Dance Society in a Huntsville Times article, is a nonprofit group of folks who love to dance. We put on at least two contra dances a month (on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays), and a yearly contra dance weekend. NACDS is an affiliate of the Country Dance and Song Society (CDSS)
What is contra dancing?
Contra dancing is fun, simple, and social dancing. This is a collection of definitions from Gary Shapiro.

Atlanta's Chattahoochee Country Dancers made a set of videos, available from YouTube, showing the basics of contra.
