    I agree, that said I mostly do the 17th century French contre-danse versions which are uh...pretty courtly. (They started as Scottish folk, became French court, then rural American.)

      The couple of times I've done contra dancing have been the more rustic variety, and I had a great time. Actually, thanks for the reminder, that would be a fun post-covid hobby to get in to.

        "modern" contra dance is a hell of a lot of fun, especially at a folk festival where you can drink and dance until the sun comes up.

        I very slightly prefer Scottish Country Dance though
