Contras and MWSD

I talk a lot about contras, even through I’m a MWSD caller. I enjoy an evening of contras and traditional squares, and appreciate the skills of contra callers. If you’re interested in the differences between contra/traditional and MWSD, check out Explaining Traditional Squares and Contras to MWSD folks by Clark Baker, a C4 caller who also enjoys contras. Last year at the CALLERLAB convention, I had the pleasure of dancing a nice, flowing, contra style dance that Clark wrote. It incorporated a partner swing, a neighbor swing, and a relay the deucey…all in 64 counts, with a progression. It was great!
