Contra dance is a beginner-friendly form of social dance that is non-competitive, moderately aerobic and highly addictive.
It's a lively, swingy dance style from the New England region of the USA. Done to a simple walking step, it features flowing movements, lots of swings and a chance to dance with everyone in the room.
