Tune Workshop
I'm delighted to say that Carol Turner has offered to teach a Boda polska tune or two in our tune workshop. I'll be able to confirm the time soon, but it will probably start at 5:45. The workshop will be FREE!Dance Workshops
More good news: Pat Lindop and J²ohn Stewart will both be leading dance workshops, and Kate Lackenby and I will be too! Presently, we're planning to run workshops in the afternoon and evening, but the programme hasn't been fixed yet, and things may well happen in the morning too!Provisional Times:
2:00 -- 3:30pm Pat Lindop will be teaching a workshop on "tips for turning" in Swedish dance, drawing on her extensive expertise in teaching and learning Swedish dances in the UK and Sweden. This workshop will be suitable for total beginners, and be of value to more experienced dancers.
3:45 -- 5:15pm Kate Lackenby and me, Michael Cade-Stewart will be teaching Boda polska. A strong favourite among the types of turning polskor. It's something like a "normal" polska with the addition of the rise and fall of a French mazurka. A truly fantastic dance: come along to experience it!
7:30 -- 8:15pm J²ohn Stewart, another hugely experienced dance teacher, will be leading introductory workshops in Swedish basics at the start of the Bal.
Communal Meal!
We will be offering a simple vegetarian or vegan meal for those who book in advance. It will cost £5, and booking is essential: please do so by email before midnight on Thursday 27 March. Dinner will be served at 6:30pm.
