Sunday evening Contra Dance: swing your partner

The first Contra Dance arrivals warm up the dance floor, April 24, 2005.

"Contra Dancing is a form of American folk dance in which the dancers form a set of two parallel lines which run the length of the hall. Each dance consists of a sequence of moves that ends with couples having progressed one position up or down the set. As the sequence is repeated, a couple will eventually dance with every other couple in the set. Contra Dancing was all the rage in 1800."
