Dance: Fall 2017

Country corners, an award winning PBS Special (1976), traces the history of the contra dance, emphasizing the importance of the contra dance as a social ritual and a community activity. The Ed Larkin dancers of East Bethel, Vermont, dance the traditional style contras, while more modern styles are shown by other dancers. Full of life a-dancin' is a portrait of a group of regional dancers, called the Southern Appalachian Cloggers, from a perpermill town in southern Appalachia. Included on the DVD is new footage of Bob McQuillen and his band Old New England and Dudley Laufman with his Electric Barn Dance Band
