Here's one that I just found on squarez.com:

It does have some overview footage.

Hello All,
I'm trying to start a contra dance series 90 miles from the nearest
regular
contra dances. When someone asks me what contra dance looks I know
that
verbal descriptions can only go so far, and even snapshots don't
really tell
the story. One person has trusted me enough to make the 90-mile
drive, but I
know most folks aren't willing to do that.
What I'd really like is to point them to a contra video that is
simple and
clean, showing one line from a caller's perspective. A contra with
good
lighting, good music and simple calling. And I'd love for that
video to be
freely available on the Internet.
I've found a few contra videos on YouTube, but most are shot from
the floor
and so it's very hard to get a feel for the set. The few I've seen
shot from
a balcony have a very jerky, hand-held feel.
I know I may be asking for something that does not exist, in which
case
perhaps a contest could be held for a video that "captures" contra
for a
person who has never seen or danced contra.
Any suggestions?
