Answer:

Contradancing is not a spectator sport , it is participatory. People will ask you to dance if you are sitting on the sidelines. They will encourage you to join in and get on your feet it is more fun to dance than to watch. The music is always provided by live musicians, the band is usually three or more people playing fiddles, guitars, and maybe a banjo, mandolin, bass, or piano. It is lively, fun music, and you will want to get up and move to it!
