After nearly 50 years involvement in folk dance as a team dancer, musician, social dancer and then caller, Cumberland Square Eight has always been my favourite to dance. I love a thrashing Drops of Brandy and I also like Willow Tree a lot but Cumberland is still my favourite. Ninepins and Silly Threesome are good fun as grab a new partner dances. I have always avoided 'dancers' dances' like the plague! You might have bother finding 'Whitby Seaweed' as I made it up about 40 years ago and I only know one other caller who regularly uses it.
