Contra Dance - Rollin' and Tumblin'

[Mandolin1944]

Cool video! Pretty fast dance but everyone more or less seems to know what they are doing. Great music too with nice mandolin & fiddle playing! As to the comment about skirts versus kilts -- I must say I do not know for sure but I've never seen a purple, chiffon, ankle length kilt before! LOL Not that I care - - just saying.

Even the men in skirts is cool.

@EkLarka1 they are not skirts sicko they are kilts LOL

[FarkleOn]

I want to do this! Are there groups in So Cal?

Music For a Found Harmonium (starts at 2:11) is one of the _most_ fun tunes to dance to - it builds and builds - if only more contra bands would play it! (Sigh!)

I do like the silliness of the editing of this clip--it so duplicates the laid-back attitude of most dances I've gone to over the years. Having Merri Rudd as your caller that night was indeed another blessing!

First time I've heard "music for a found harmonium" in a contra set. Great work.
