Contra Dance Basics Ch 1 - Introduction by Janet Shepherd

Great idea. I've been dancing for a few years and I send new dancers here to get the basics.  Thank you so much for creating these.

Thank you so much for sharing !!!! :-)

You're a great public speaker! You have a real talent for it.

I just went to my first contra dance last week and I am totally hooked! I absolutely love it! Even though I got a bit confused a few times :-)

So, does the caller choreograph the dances?

I'm going to watch all of the videos! Thanks.

The caller usually calls from a collection of dances that they've organized for the evenings program- some of which may be composed by the caller, but most usually are not. Not every caller is a writer/choreographer as well, though some do. Some may play a musical instrument or two as well.

Janet you have a great voice and style for this kind of video. Great work!

Great job Janet! You're a contra star!
