This is a Contra dance from an afternoon workshop at Folkmadness 2004. It also was taken from the balcony, and there are fewer dancers on the floor (one set of 30-40), formations are more apparent. It starts with a glimps of the caller and musicians, without whom, these dances would not happen.
The band is either Pied-a-Terre or Elkin/Roberts/Compton, or some combination or permutation thereof.
What band is this?
