“There’s quite a bit of MWSD terms sneaking into contra choreography these days. “

Yes, but beware! Contra callers have borrowed the terms, but sometimes changed the definitions!

E.g.

At the end of a Square Thru an MWSD dancer will not turn and will have their back to the last person they passed.

At the end of a Square Thru a Contra dancer will usually turn to face the next person in their minor set, or to face whichever direction the caller has specified.

The call used to be “x Changes of Rights and Lefts” but someone must have thought “Square Thru x” sounded cooler…
