Feb 10, 2010 - as chopstick85 says, just have fun and don't worry about messing up. contra's about the lowest-pressure social dance there is; you'll notice that people who have been doing it for years and years will mess up too, and no one minds. if you miss a move, just pause for a few beats and start at the next point in the dance you know, and the people around you will help you figure it out. there's no worries, and no pressure-- just lots of fun :D

May 18, 2010 - on second view i noticed that the one in the black shirt and blue shorts is permanently spinning the ladies while (all) others are merely rotating with their partners.reminds me of that game "sid meier's pirates of the carribean" (if you know the game, you know what im talking about XD)anyway awesome vid and that blue shorts really is pro! ^^

Mollkid Says:

Jul 14, 2011 - I believe it was in December of 2006...or the very next month, January 2007. You can probably find out if you go onto Montpelier's past schedules and look for when Beeswax Sheepskin played....
