Easy Intermediate - Contra
16 count intro (start on vocals)
Note: When doing this dance contra, start in staggered lines (so that there is an opening for you to go through between the two people across from you) and have both lines fairly close together facing each other (so that you can reach each other’s hands).
You will travel left and right during the first 24 counts, just make sure you’re back in your original “window” by the start of the last set of 8 so that you can grab hands and pull each other through.
When you do the chase turn and step touch at the end of the dance, make sure you still finish the dance IN FRONT of each other in your staggered lines – do not go past each other back through the lines.
See demo video on YouTube (link above).
