"'Balance and swing: contra dancing and music in Nelson, NH' is a senior project about the tradition of contra dancing ... Throughout this project, I have reflected on the importance of the contra dance as a physical, social, and emotional activity; the significance of being a member of that community has had for me; and the joy, connection, and relationships that have grown out of the Nelson contra dance ... For ten weeks, I interviewed callers, musicians, and dancers to learn about what the contra dance in Nelson means to them. I also studied the history of the dance and the town, learned and practiced contra dance calling, and also photographed the weekly dances"--Leaf 3.
