If you love to dance and you love traditional music, Contra dancing is the best fun you can possibly have. I used to belong to a contra dance club in Michigan, but I moved to Europe and haven't yet found a similar dance club. : (

There's no activity that's more fun than contra, and contra at Glenside is some of the best!

even in the little thumbnail for this I recognized jeff kaufman in this, which was confirmed when I played the video and saw his dancing (despite the pixilation).

Whoa, catch the one couple -- the curly-haired young guy in the white shirt and his partner at the beginning; they switch roles at about :40 and dance "arky"! They do it well, too. At 1:14 they switch back.
