Overview
Contra Dancing, also known as Country Dancing, is a style of social folk dance in which long lines of dancers come together, pair off, perform a series of prescribed movements, and separate again. Contra Dance was the most popular form of ballroom dance enjoyed in Europe from the 17th to 19th centuries.
