Subject: RE: New Music and Dance session. Chester UK
We had a good evening again. Not as packed as last time, but the qualtity of those who were there still good.

Those of us who struggle to keep up with the tunes (you can have all the notes slowly or a selection at dance speed, from me) are very grateful that we have some good players to keep us together and up to the mark.

Elaine brought a Basque stick dance and tune which we had fun with.
We also danced the Playford dance Grimstock from 1651, a regency dance The Duke of Kent's Waltz, a modern dance to a C14 carol tune, and a dance to a Scottish tune written by a Dutchman in honour of an English dance writer.
