Money Musk party - contra dance

This footage is from a dance party in Canterbury, NH on March 7, 2010, organized by Dudley and Jacqueline Laufman as part of International Money Musk Month. (They are the first couple on the left at the start of the video; in the second clip, Dudley is visible in a lilac-colored shirt and Jacqueline in blue.) In all, we danced Money Musk-- Dudley would say "The Money Musk"-- three separate times in the course of the afternoon, along with half a dozen other older dances; these clips are from two of those times. The third time (not shown) we did it in four-couple longways sets, with the active couple dancing twice and then moving to the bottom of the set, for a total of eight times through the figures.

The musicians are Jane Orzechowski, fiddle, and Neil Orzechowski, piano, members of the Sugar River String Band, joined the first time by Sylvia Miskoe, accordion. You can hear Dudley calling at the start of the first clip.
