Contra is the common folks’ free-wheeling alternative to its elegant cousin, English Country dance, set to fast fiddling and great lively music! Contra is led by a caller who teaches a sequence of figures to long lines of couples. Contra is danced to live music. In contra dance, everyone flows together– individual parts coming together for a joyful whole. Caller, Ridge Kennedy with George Wilson, fiddle, Selma Kaplan, piano.
