When I first started dancing, I wasn't even sure that they had specific *figures* that went with them -- that it wasn't just the caller (or someone) making up a set of figures that we danced that night, and then more or less never again. Part of that was probably that at the contras I went to, they never like announced the names of the dances; unlike, say, at English dances.<br><br>Anyway, I eventually came to realize that contra dances had names, but never did really figure out (at least not enough to remember) that they don't necessarily have consistent music.", "timestamp": "1399255642"}]}
