Contra dance. Contra dance (also contradance, contra-dance and other variant spellings) is a folk dance made up of long lines of couples. It has mixed origins from English country dance, Scottish, French dance styles in the 17th century, with strong African influence from Appalachia.
What is contrapposto? If youâve been in art circles where this term was discussed, you probably know that it relates to the way a figure is standing. Specifically, contrapposto is when a figure stands with one leg holding its full weight and the other leg relaxed. This classic pose causes the figureâs hips and shoulders to rest at opposite angles, giving a slight s-curve to the entire torso.
