Workshop Descriptions:
Challenging Contras: Bring all your senses: your sense of contra, your sense of direction, and most importantly, your sense of humor! We’ll pull out stops and see how ridiculous we can get with fun, challenging, unexpected dances that will bewilder and delight.
English Country Dance: Explore why this dance form has retained its popularity for over 500 years. We’ll do dances old and new that will give a taste of how delightful, silly, connecting, joyous, and energetic ECD can be — a little bit like its younger cousin, contra!
Terminology
Adina will be calling with Larks & Robins terminology.
If you’ve been to dances that use “gents and ladies”, the “lark” is the same role as the “gent”, and the “robin” is the same role as “lady”. At the end of a swing, Larks are on the LEFT and Robins are on the RIGHT.
Note: Gender-free calling is NOT about switching roles. Everyone dances their preferred role.
