...1. Only men 2. Anyone 3. Only women 4. No one, you have to dance with the person you came with, or you can't dance Many square dances require you to have a partner to dance at all, and many women are reluctant to ask men to dance at ballroom dances, but at a contra dance, asking others to dance is acceptable for both sexes.
