Contra dance

Okay kiddo, so you know how sometimes we like to dance with mommy or daddy, or with our friends at a party? Well, contra dancing is a kind of dancing that is done with a whole big group of people!

Everyone stands in two long lines facing each other, and then we all start dancing together. It's like a big game of follow-the-leader, where one person leads the dance moves, and everyone else follows. Then another person leads the next moves, and we all follow again.

The music is usually really happy and bouncy, and it makes us want to jump and spin and kick our feet! And the best part is, even if we don't know the dance moves, we can just watch the person in front of us and copy them.

We also get to hold hands with the person across from us while we dance, and sometimes we even get to spin around in circles with them! It's a lot of fun, and it helps us make new friends and feel happy and connected with other people.

Overall, contra dancing is a fun and lively way to dance together as a big group, and we get to learn new moves and have a great time while we do it!
