“Finding the Style Whatever the Dance”
Can you dance well no matter what the figures of the dance? Does a triple time dance look and feel different to a reel or a jig? Victoria’s choice of dances will allow us to explore this as we dance to fabulously sympathetic music from Dave. Come along and be challenged to dance better and enjoy it more.

“Dancing Beyond the Minor Set”
In this workshop, Louise will present a series of lively dances from the early 18th to the early 21st century that share one notable feature: the choreography takes dancers away from, and then back to, their minor set within the dance. Combining conceptual challenges with uniquely delightful patterns, we’ll enjoy the dances for their own sake while exploring their origins in history, reconstruction choices, and cross-cultural borrowings.

Hey! It’s Reely Good.
Zoom dancing has been a lifeline for dancers during lockdown and whilst callers have done a marvellous job adapting dances for Zoom, reels and heys have proved difficult to adapt. This workshop explores a range of reels and heys and encourages participants to enjoy ‘safe’ interaction with fellow dancers once more.
