Hi Bob,
A nice challenge! Please clarify the following re " a contra
formation." Is 4 facing 4 a contra formation? Are grid squares a
contra formation?
Cheers, Bill
Four Facing Four -
Yes, sometimes calle Mescalenza
see:

Grid Squares -
Yes, in the sense that this hybrid formation can be danced to
contra-dance moves and calls and understood by experienced dancers
