Choreography

Dugan has written a bunch of contra dances. Not all of them are awesome. Most of them are clearly inspired by others’ works. Some are great.

Notes:

  • "U-turn" is used to indicate a “right/left shoulder round once and return to __" figure. You can use whatever terms work for you.

  • Experienced dancers tend to circle left 3 places in only 6 beats; the figure is often notated here as 8 beats anyway.

  • Please share any feedback you have from calling or dancing any of these dances!

  • Below, for additional context on the dance, select the name of the dance.
