A few years ago, when I lived in Salt Lake City, Utah, I had the opportunity to attend a contra dance. I didn’t dance, I don’t know why. Sometimes I guess I just make a better cheer person. My wife was dancing, though. And she’s a great at it.
Don’t know if you’ve ever been to a contra dance, or even know what one is. It’s a lot like a square dance, only contra is done in lines. A caller calls out what to do. If you’re a first-timer you catch on quick. It’s a lot like curling in that way. It’s something you learn by doing.
I’ve been chewing on this song idea since I lived in Salt Lake City, 2016. I finished it up the other day and thought you’d enjoy it. It’s called Rock n’ Roll Contra Dance.
