FolkMADS sponsors Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Taos contra dances, concerts, camps, and other special events. "Contra" dances include contras, squares, mixers, and couple dances.

Unless noted on the calendar, admission to dances is $7 for members, $8 for nonmembers. Students with ID receive half price admission and children up to 12 years of age are free. You don't need to come with a partner. Free instruction for beginners half an hour before the dance starts. Dances are smoke-free and alcohol-free. Children and teens are encouraged to participate if supervised by an adult.
