Charles | Help: Country Dance - contra-danse? (16) | RE: Help: Country Dance - contra-danse? | 31 Aug 99 |
On my side of the channel (I'm French) we hear the same story, that contredanse is the French for coutry dance. By the way in today's French at least, contre doesn't mean opposite, it means besides (opposite: en face). But meanings change. Maybe it was different 300 years ago. |
