| That may pave the way clear for the Luca Cumanitrained Contredanse to flash home in this encounter. |
| Third home that day was Contredanse, who had not been disgraced in a valuable sales race at Newmarket previously, so the form looks solid. |
| Like its predecessor, the contredanse francaise or cotillion, it was performed by four couples facing each other in a square. |
| Flocks of old gulls, enormous as hens, fluttered with evolutions like a contredanse upon its glossy surface. |
| Both forms of contredanse were performed in France until the Revolution at the end of the eighteenth century. |
| Again, it never achieved, in Louisiana, the popularity of the danse ronde, no doubt because many of the figures of the contredanse required an even number of couples. |
