I was taking a course on gender and sexuality at the time I wrote this. The title is a double pun; "Contra is essential" is one meaning, "against cultural/biological essentialism" is another.

use the roll away variation.
introduces moves: hey
formation: improper
| A1 | 4 | long lines forward ⁋
|
| 4 | gentlespoons roll away neighbors with a half sashay as lines back up *
| |
| 8 | ladles chain

|
| B2 | 8 | circle left 3 places
|
| 8 | neighbors swing
|
* This is how the dance was originally written, but some find that ladles rolling away gentlespoons flows better into the ladles chain. I think that variation also goes by the name "Rollin' to the Grey Eagle", written by Hank Morris.

While this dance seems repetitive at first glance, gentlespoons and ladles take different roles in the two roll aways and the two push off heys.
This was written at the suggestion of Dugan Murphy for a new dance with roll away across the set to a swing.

"The motion in B1 does seem magical – while the ladles Petronella over and back across the set, the gentlespoons do consecutive Petronellas along the side, in effect progressing behind his partner’s back."
