Hi Marie-Michèle. (And apologies to the group, I don't know how to make individual contact and this note seemed easiest.) A friend of mine was a student at McGill about 5? maybe 7? years ago and did contradance there. I loaned him several books to help get things started. Contact me offline at bobfab(a)aol.com and I can connect you with him. He may have some insights, and offered to speak with you. Bob bobfab(a)aol.com
