Barn Dance - a lot of fun

Posted by Anuradha Muralidharan Jan 21, 2007

Contra or Barn Dance thrives on high-energy dancing, and the dancers appear to be very much aware of their partners and neighbors. In the U.S., it's expected that everyone will change partners for every dance. Each dance is played at least 15 to 20 times through so that everyone, even in the longest lines, has the opportunity to dance as couple one and couple two. Eye contact is intense! And great fun once you get used to it. You can flirt all you want with your current partner, as it's accepted that it's just for this dance!
