 [Bob, you brought up a point regarding different
 ladies changes that I did not understand. Can you
 explain them to me and give me examples of the
 differences? RG]

Richard,
    The ladies chain in Contra requires the man to support the woman behind 
the waist with his right hand, when she is turned back to face the center and 
I do not think the man dances behind the position but waits for lady to come 
to him. But I am not a major Contra dancer, so i may be incorrect about the 
mans' movement or lack of.
