For my recent paper, I wrote about the evolution of teh New Engand style of dance, contra dancing. This weekend I'm attending a festival where I will sit on a panel discussing youth involvment in contra. This folk festival is held annually with thousands in attendence, and I'm excited to talk with other college age dancer from all over the area about how they have adapted contra to fit the "next generation."

I will be talking about how I started the group here on campus and how we've had to change our advertizing style, etc. to appeal to students. We also want to talk about regional differences in steps of th dance to see if college students, moving aound the country, have standardized steps, embraced the differences, etc. If anything particualrly relevant comes up, I'll let you know!
