Some info has been posted about Contra Dances, elsewhere, but I can't find it - let me know if anyone does. (lol) 

It just sunk in how popular Contra Dance is in our North, South, East & West Coasts, big in Canada, the UK, Australia and a small showing in many other Countries! 

So, maybe I wasn't learning 'Square Dancing' in High School, but I don't recall hearing the term Contra Dance!  ...then again, I was more interested in the Rock groups of that time. (lol)

I didn't know Henry Ford, in my Home Town, played a huge part in promoting Contra Dance in the 20's!   Then, there was a decline as other types of music/dance became more popular in the 30's & 40's.  A big resurgence started in the later 70's & 80's, but I was in the Military by then. (Wikipedia)
