One of my favorite videos for showing people how just how innovative and fun contra dancing can be. Check out the whimsical twirls & flourishes adapted from swing and lindy hop at the Harlequin Masquerade New Year's Eve Ball (Old Farmers Ball Asheville, NC). Band: Fiddlewitch (Laurie Fisher, Karen Gaughan, Art Shuster, & Skip Metheny. Anne Marie Walter, caller.


Magic Foot Playing Joyride at Youth Dance Weekend. It was
having the joy of listening and dancing to Magic Foot at YDW
that convinced me they were the band for Soirée 2010.
