Devil's Backbone? Wizard's Walk? (Okay, I no longer have an objective sense
of how Halloween-y this one is because it was the tradition at my school's
contradance that we'd close out the Halloween contra with this one, with
the band and the dancers competing to see who could go faster... it was a
good time!)

The Devil's DreamTraditional
Improper Contra
A1
- 1s face down and lead down the centre while the 2s face up and go up
the outside
- all turn alone and lead back to give neighbour nearest hand and half
turn neighbour
A2
- 1s facing down the outside and 2s up the middle: lead up or down
again
- you promenade in the same direction both times
- all turn alone and lead back to give *left* hands to neighbour

In CDM6 and 500 Zesty Contras
Note that this dance has no swing; however it is probably the most popular
contra in English dance clubs.
