Bob,
My experience was similar. Being new to California I always assumed it was
invented here. It is *such *a California kind of thing. It was almost two
years before I learned that they were dancing contras, almost as well, in
the Boston area.

It is funny how these things go, Greg. My wife was a
professional musician,
and played violin in the Boston area for 25 years. She moved to St. Louis
and eventually discovered the fabulous contra dance community here, and
this vibrant dance form. It wasn't long before she was shocked to learn
that they even did this in Boston on occasion.
