I am designing workshop for a dance weekend here in Australia and
would like to crowd source some inspiration:
Simply answer the question - what made you addicted to contra?
"I'm not addicted, I can stop any time I want to. I just don't want
to."
More seriously, I have been doing contra, square, and folk dancing for
over a quarter-century. For about fifteen years, I have primarily
identified as a contra dancer, mainly because I like the energy and can
"dance trance" for an extended period of time. (Most folk dances are
shorter than contras; square dancing requires too much hearing
concentration to dance trance.)
I also like the room for flourishes (count me among the "contra cutups").
