Clark Baker - traditional and modern
Creator: Clark Baker (August 9, 2011)
In this fifth and final video in this series, Clark Baker looks at two related kinds of dancing and explains the attraction of each: MWSD squares, especially in the Challenge program, on one side, and traditional squares and contras on the other. Clark calls C4, always with recorded music, and also has enjoyed being part of the Boston contra dance community.
For a more detailed look at this subject, see Clark's article, "Explaining Traditional Squares and Contras to MWSD folks."
