The Contra Borealis Dancers are the contradance group in Fairbanks, Alaska. Formed in 1999 with the disbanding of the University Contradancers when it became too difficult to get space at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) for our twice monthly dances. We are members of the Northern Lights Council of Dancers who own and maintain the Dance Hall at Pioneer Park.
