  • 48. Contra Dance Music
    Sep 10 2025

    Contra dancing is an American folk dance that is laughably hard to describe… or is it? Jeffrey Spero is a contra dance musician, caller, and choreographer. We talk about the varied music of contra dance, what makes a great dance band, and everything that happens behind-the-scenes to make a wonderful dance evening (hint: there’s more improv than you might think!).
