"'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.

The contradance and quadrille, in their diverse forms, were the most popular, widespread, and important genres of creole Caribbean music and dance in the nineteenth century. Throughout the region they constituted sites for interaction of musicians and musical elements of different racial, social, and ethnic origins, and they became crucibles for the evolution of genres like the Cuban danzón and son, the Dominican merengue, and the Haitian mereng. Creolizing Contradance in the Caribbean is the first book to explore this phenomenon in detail and with a pan-regional perspective. Individual chapters by respected area experts discuss the Spanish, French, and English-speaking Caribbean, covering musical and choreographic features, social dynamics, historical development and significance, placed in relation to the broader Caribbean historical context. This groundbreaking text fills a significant gap in studies of Caribbean cultural history and of social dance.
