Contra dancers (and other humans) seem, in general, not to like anything they're not familiar with.
Familiarity breeds content. All the more reason that new dance forms might be best introduced by the folks who know how to do the one you're familiar with. I'm sick I probably can't go to Seth's weekend - anyone who likes cool patterns (I'm thinking that's everyone on this list) would have a blast. Can you imagine it? A big game of "Simon Says" done to music...
