Hi all,
I'm in search of contras that have borrowed interesting figures from
traditional and modern western square dances. Do you have any favorites
you're willing to share? I've got Rang Tang Contra and some dances with
Dixie Twirls. Lots with Box the Gnat and Swat the Flea. Any others you love?
Thank you!
Rachel Shapiro Wallace
