I had a great time even though I got there late.

I keep track of dances taught/on ball lists etc, in an effort to determine just what is being danced & what is more or less common/popular. What I can remember is:

Chestnut
Trenchmore
Heart’s Ease
Amoroso
Ly Bens
Petit Vriens

And then in the evening:

Korobushka
Hole in the Wall
Gathering Peascods
Heralds in Love

So what did I miss?

Thanks
Estrill

"A Summer’s Dance" was a great event. We had music and dancing all afternoon and evening, with breaks between sets and time for dinner and court. That made for a good pace for both musicians and dancers. I hope the dancers had as much fun as the musicians did.

We had a great group of Musicians:

•         Estrill Swet (percussion),

•         Karl Thorgeirsson (drum),

•         Alexandré Marcellus (tambourine),

•         Llywelyn Gruffydd (viols da gamba, crumhorn),

•         Ysabel de Picard (hammered dulcimer),

•         Walter Robin (violin, cello, mandolins),

•         Reis ap Tuder (mandolins),

•         Toinette de Cambrai (flute),

•         Emma de Fetherstan (recorders),

•         Vigdis Gráfeldr (harp),

•         Xene Theriane (harp, guitar, recorder)

We had enough players that nobody had to carry the melody all the time, which allowed us to change instruments frequently and have a different mix of sound for each dance. This made it fun to play, and hopefully more interesting to hear.

Thank you to the musicians, dance leaders, and Cantons for a wonderful day.

I don’t think there is anyone leading the dancers or musicians. Several teachers are doing dance classes.  Bring all of your dance music and we’ll see what happens.
