Here's a great video of a contra dance: YouTube - Arizona Contra Dance 2006 May Madness.

It shows Albuquerque caller Merri Rudd and the band The Privy Trippers. The dance is The Devil's Backbone by William Watson.

MWSD Note: If you watch the dancing, you'll see that part of the dance includes the "exchange" part of Spin Chain and Exchange the Gears. See Colin Hume's article, Dance Technique:   Enjoy Dancing Better, where he notes that that move appears in other Scottish dances as well.

I'm sorry, but I've had to disable comments. Spambots have found the site, and I don't have time to try to figure out how to stop them. In the future, I'll probably start using some standard blogging software that I can modify to add the dance quotes. In the meantime, no comments.
