Dear Sam,
A quick look at the link seems to reveal that Give & Take is missing.
This is a move for 4 dancers. As couples, dancers move forward, and
give the outside (free hand) to the opposite person. Depending on the
dance, one of them moves back, drawing the opposite dancer into a
swing. A Give & Take can be
Gents give & take, swing partner
Gent's give & take, swing N
Same moves above, but led by the ladies.
Can you share with us why you are making this list?
warmly, Linda

Hi all;
I'm looking for a complete (or, as complete as this sort of thing can
be) list of Contra Dance moves. Once I exchausted all of the ones I
could think of off the top of my head, I started using Wikipedia's
list [1].
Can anyone think of any less-common moves that are missing from that
list? I know there are lots of square dance moves that are adapted to
contra dances fairly regularly that might be missing from the article
on Contra; I'm basically looking for any move that's ever been used in
a contra dance (even if only once). Contra squares (in which any
square dance move is more or less valid) probably don't count. The
move should work in `normal' contra dance formations and/or
mescolanzas.
Thanks,
Sam
