| Many English Country Dances are as easy as contras,
but some figures require the ability to negotiate patterns without
direct physical help from a partner or neighbor. Most contra dancers
can learn these patterns without much difficulty, but you should
anticipate a learning curve.
It may help to remember your first impressions of
contra dance: you were willing to let someone drag you to this foreign
experience. We now welcome you to a new foreign experience: English.
Some basic English figures
