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.
Contrapposto is a classical pose created by the Greeks and revived during the Renaissance - in this pose, a figure stands with one leg holding its full weight and the other leg relaxed. Contrapposto causes the hips and shoulders to rest at opposite angles, giving a slight s-curve to the entire torso.
