Computer engineering professor talks contra dancing with BDN
Rick Eason, organizer of the Bangor contradance and professor of computer engineering at the University of Maine, talked with the Bangor Daily News about contra dancing in the state.
“It reminds me of those old movies, where people get dressed up on a Saturday night and the whole community comes together,” Eason said in the article. “It’s something you’ve gotta try before you say you don’t like it.”
Contra dance groups in Maine have recently sought to get more community members involved, including families and young people, the article states.
