The second contra dance held in New Bern at Craven Community College on January 20, 2007. Margie Misenheimer was the caller. Core Sounds was our fine band for the evening. A great dance!

  • check out reddy roc new bern

  • Actually, I hear whistle and dulcimer. St Thomas is the first tune (Dizzy Gillespie/Sonny Rollins: ) )

  • haha. How about that!

  • YEP! That is Mr Scull! It seems like his speed. The girl is probably dancing with him to get 10 points per line on her government test papers! LOL

  • Was that Mr. Scull Dancing?! Oh my goodness! He has some moves!

  • It seems that a live band was there. Near the end, you can see the caller signaling the musicians to stop playing (at the 8:22 mark in the video).

  • This video shows a walkthrough of Gene Hubert's, The Nice Combination. I can't tell if there is a band or not. Maybe it's recorded music, which is not the tradition of contra dance. The camera is stationary and not at a particularly good angle, such that you can see the caller's feet and the top two foursomes dancing. The pace is kinda slow and I don't find the the music to be particularly inspiring. On the other hand, the dancers are well dressed and graceful. Flute and no fiddle.

  • What is the name of this dance?
