What is contra dancing?

A short introduction to contra dancing showing a sample of two dances and interviews with a few of the dancers. No experience or partner is necessary to join in this fun filled aerobic activity that is enjoyed by people of all ages. And we welcome newcomers. Because you typically interact with most of the people in the room during the dances you truly becomes part of a community. To quote one dancer, "You will mess up and no one will care! Welcome to contra dancing."
Length: 3:32
