Contra dancing is a popular folk dance throughout the Appalachian region that has origins in the 17th century … but now it’s incorporating some 21st century changes. Some dances are moving away from the traditional pairings of “ladies and gents” and going gender-neutral.
As Sierra Pfeifer reports, it’s a big transition for an activity that hasn’t changed much in 200 years.
