This is the last set of the last contradance of the 2010 Northwest Folklife Festival in Seattle, Washington. "The Retrospectacles" is an all teenage contradance band comprised of 4 friends; Andrew Foster, Josie Toney, Ethan Jodziewicz, and Scott Leach. The caller for this dance is David Kaynor from Massachusetts. This video was recorded on 5/31/2010 by Ray Leach in the Roadhouse at the Seattle Center. There were an estimated 500+ dancers on the floor at the time! They were dancing a dance written by David Kaynor called "The Baby Rose". The tune names in the medley are: "Catharsis" and "Red Crow".
Wow! Hot stuff!

Thanks-nice video. I like how you move around. It's good to see the band--you don't always get a chance to watch them while you're dancing. Looks like it didn't get any less crowded after I left at 2!
