This is a Contra Dance from the Folkmadness Camp, it was taken from a balcony above to get a better view of the figures of the dance.

  • I agree, too much movement. It would be nice to focus on one couple/group at a time to be able to follow through and learn the moves. The one good thing about the video is you can understand the caller! I'm sure the people who attended the event were greatful to be seen on the video. ..still searching for a "lessons" video!

  • Was trying to get everyone in, and walking to find a better vantagepoint. Mainly picked this video from the angle, and I did like the audio, gotta admit the sound came out nice. And Contra Dancing is so exciting you just can't stay still even if youre an observer! If I could have 4000x2800 resolution, and a fisheye lens, and set on tripod would be nice. I may have some lessons, or walkthroughs, on tape.

  • too much camera movement to give anyone much but motionsickness....sorry.

  • Go see Cloverfield and get back to me.....

  • looks like fun!

  • The dance done is "Steel City Promenade" by

    Rick Mohr.

    As for lessons -- the typical way to do it is

    by showing up to a dance and trying it -- that's

    why there's no videos! The key figure here to

    watch, though, is the swing, and to a lesser extent

    the half hey.
