   What are the parts of a contra dance called?

   • The parts are called A1, A2, B1 and B2. This nomenclature stems from the music: Most contra dance tunes have two parts (A and B), each 8 measures long, and each fitting one part of the dance. The A and B parts are each played twice in a row, hence, A1, A2, B1, B2.

   How does a contra dance work?

   • Much of the dance is done as a walking movement, one step for each count of the music, while the arms and hands do most of the changing, most of these involving connecting with others' hands. Most contra dances consist of a sequence of about six to twelve individual figures, prompted by the caller in time to the music as the figures are danced.

   How many counts does a contra dance have?

   • Thus, a contra dance is typically 64 counts, and goes with a 32-measure tune. In figures such as an allemande, rollaway or swing, dancers commonly give weight, leaning slightly away from their partner to create tension. This is necessary in some dances to perform the figures quickly enough, and is considered good dancing style.

   What is a contra dance figure?

   • The figures repeat, ideally, in a graceful flowing pattern, aligned with the phrasing of the music. Contra dance figures (with a few exceptions) do not have defined footwork; within the limits of the music and the comfort of their fellow dancers, individuals move to the beat and embellish according to their own taste.
