Generate a Random Contra Dance. Currently only generates improper
dances.
(This is now version 1.1.)
I've moved the fancier stuff to another page, including the old generator and the ability to recreate a dance from its number.
I've started a Random Contra Hall of Fame for interesting randomly generated dances. Feel free to send me the dance and version number of interesting ones you find.
Here are several explanations of what contra
dances are.
Here are some good (human-written)
contra dances.
There are a number of
contra dance resource webpages
on the web.
In a somewhat similar vein, Cary Ravitz has built a contra dance animator.
Here's a
mathematician's view of contra dancing.
(If you're not (yet) a contra dancer, don't be
scared by this; no one thinks about the stuff described here while dancing.)
More from this guy about contras and math
here.
These days, there are contra dances all over the US, including Pittsburgh.
