Description
The story of contra, a uniquely American dance music that New Englanders formed over generations by combining English country dancing with Celtic fiddle tunes and strutting French-Canadian rhythms. Told through the lives of the people themselves: 19th century African-American fiddler John Putnam, 20th century dance caller Ralph Page; mentor Bob McQuillen; modern pied-pipers of contra, Dudley Laufman and Rodney Miller; 101-year old dancer Florence Giffin and 13-year-old musician Conor Sleith, industrial tycoon Henry Ford who tried to popularize the dance in the 1920s; and legions of long hair-hippies who found haven from industrialized society in the pastorial clip-clip of contra.
