		A New England contredanse is an American traditional dance evolved from English country dance and European contredanse.
		Most contredanse events are open to all comers, regardless of experience, and the tradition is to change partners for every sequence (so you don't need to bring a partner).
		Contredanses are held all across the United States (and also Belgium, Denmark, England, Canada, Czech Republic and Australia).

		Merriam-Webster, OTOH, gives contredanse (with French 's') as the standard form, with contra dance as a variant.
		Since contredanse is the preferred U.S. spelling and is the second-choice U.K. spelling, that seems best, but contra dance is certainly preferable to contradance which both U.K. and U.S. authorities consider incorrect.
