Contras are folk dances in which people are in two facing lines , a circle, or a square, usually starting with one partner and often rotating to other partners.[1] Contra dances are especially popular in New England, the Pacific Northwest, and other places in North America. Contra dance music is usually Irish, Scottish, French Canadian, and Old-timey tunes. Compared to square dancing - some describe contra as "more flowing, more varied, and less macho."
