Yes, MC, contra dancers often have to explain what it isn't: central american guerrillas holding hands around a campfire!

Although I am known for being a shoe diva (the higher the better), I would not recommend a heel for this event. Contra dancing requires you to be up on the balls of your feet for most of the dance, so a dance flat or cute athletic shoe is best (but not one that is too grippy to the ground). If you want to spend some cash- a low ballroom dance shoe would work. It has to be a heel lower than 2 inches with straps to keep it on. A leather sole helps for twirling and spinning.

A high heel will limit your movement and a wedge will kill you.

When I was a kid, I'd just shuck my shoes off for Scottish or English Contra dancing.

Aside to MasterCaneman: I did work for Witness for Peace in Nicaragua in the 80's. Thanks for the bad pun and the memories!

De nada. I spent a little time just over the border in '87. Interesting part of the world and interesting times.

Those white wedges are good. Very cute. Don't look too difficult to walk in, either.

Now I'm going to start a thread on cricket and another on cordless drills.

So lovethyself, did you go to the dance and how was it? Who was the band/caller? What did you end up with for shoes?

Inquiring minds want to know!

I did go to the dance, I watched a lot of dancing. I gotta say, I didn't actually get up the courage to ask someone to dance. I also wore the wrong shoes during the day (I have 2 pairs for our uniform, and I grabbed the ones that rub my anckle with the wrong socks). By the time we all got back from touring the city, I was estatic to be able to but my normal runners on.

I did get to catch up with people I hadn't seen in a couple of years, as well as met some new people.

The band was a local seed band. We have a lot of musicians come to the weekend and enjoy playing in the band. So we hire a core to keep the music going so no guests feel obligated to stay up there all night. The band I beileve was Relative Harmony. The callers were likewise people that were up for the weekend that had called in the past and offered to call a couple of dances. There's a lot of crossover from the Morris dance community and the country/contra dance community up here.

Ooooooo! I checked out Relative Harmony's page and can't wait to hear some samples from them. Lucky you to see them in person! Sounds like a great dance :-)

I've actually known the family for years, so I've heard them play a lot. They've been around under one name or another for decades (though not always with the kids playing). I grew up on their kids album. Lol. They are a lot of fun to see.
