Kontradans is an ambitious project that attempts to document the folk music of the Roskilde / Lejre region as a valuable cultural heritage in itself and aims to have this heritage invigorated as a living culture.

Poul Bjerager and Al Damlund, both Danish 'Rigsspillemænd', have meticulously researched national and local archives for old handwritten music for traditional folk dances from the Roskilde / Lejre region. Their book conserves and renews interpretations of 180 of the dance melodies they have discovered. The book also contains explanations, notes and images of the original material.
