Hi Bob,

A nice challenge! Please clarify the following re " a contra formation." Is 4 facing 4 a contra formation? Are grid squares a contra formation?

Cheers, Bill

Four Facing Four -
  Yes, sometimes calle Mescalenza
  see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contra_dance_form#In_less_common_formations

Grid Squares -
  Yes, in the sense that this hybrid formation can be danced to
contra-dance moves and calls and  understood by experienced dancers
