He was influential in spreading it from New Hampshire<br> to the rest of the United States and other countries and was recognized<br> as an authority on American folk dance overall.<br> Page began calling contra dances in 1930 accidentally, when he was scheduled<br> to play for a dance in Stoddard but the caller developed laryngitis.<br> Page was one of three founders of the New England Folk Festival Association.<br> In 1966, he toured England and led workshops with the English Folk Dance and<br> Song Society.
