I think Quen Quer Que is popular enough outside our barony. It seems like the Shadowland kids like it and I know some of the northern dancers like it.
I have considered the floor. However, people like to dance these dances but we don't do them a lot due to the time period constraints. This event doesn't have that and so I feel like it is the opportunity to dance ones that we don't get to regularly. We can also ask the musicians to bring the speed down a little if needed which may be the best idea.
Any other ideas? I'm going to try to come up with a clear list this week so people can talk to me at Yule and I can come up with a pretty finalized list soon. I know that musicians are either going to have to learn the music.
