An Elegant Collection of Contras and Squares

Summary: A Classic Collection
Review: A classic collection of contra dances in the old style before "zesty" dancing took over. You may be surprised how pleasing these old dances are if you haven't done them in a while. Compared to the frenzied pace of some more modern dances, these seem clean and simple. Page has included newspaper clippings about old dances and the melodies for New England fiddle tunes for a glimpse into the roots of New England contra dance.
