I mean, absolutely.

So often, interesting choreography in contra in the last half century has been integrating moves from adjacent dance styles. Please do presume that when I attribute things, that it's often a product of this (whether the move was reinvented or deliberately taken).

I do love the historical context! Thanks!

Hi all,

“Kitch's skipping of the swing-in-center”. Hmmm…

 

I think lots of other people thought of that before Kitch!  For example, Thomas Wilson in 1815 with his Turn Corners figure!

            Happy dancing,
