I have done contra dancing, as well as ceileigh dancing and scottish dancing (not to mention Balkan, Greek and Hungarian). There is a scottish group dancing here, which is similar to contra dancing. It is similar to square dancing -- it was actually the precursor to square dancing and is what square dancing is based on, with a caller, etc.
It would take some energy, but I think there must be folks (from New England in particular) who have done it. We're coming back to TV next week for 8 months. I'll be watching this space too, to see if there's interest.
My only question is, don't you need a caller for contra dancing?
