Traditional American dancing includes contras, squares, circles, and other formations, all using familiar figures like stars, do-si-dos, and swings. For many people, "contra dancing" includes all these, and for everyone it's just lots of fun. Dances feature live music and callers who teach and prompt each dance.

"You

keep us going."
