Don't forget folks - There's a contra tonight!<br><br>Sometimes called American
Contra Dancing, it's what became of English/Scottish/Irish/Welsh social
dancing when it went with the emmigrants to North America and then
evolved a distinct style of its own. Heavily influenced by the low,
slithery movements of French traditional dancing, and later by the
energetic twisting and twirling of Swing dance, contra combines the
familiar figures of ceilidh or barn dancing in smooth, flowing sequences
with the improvisational element of Swing to produce an energetic,
fun, social dance form that's easy to learn.<br><br>The fun starts at 8 p.m. at the Broomhall Centre, see <a href="http://www.aphelia.co.uk/contra/">http://www.aphelia.co.uk/contra/</a> for more details.<br><br>
Hope to see you there,<br><br>Bob<br>
