<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Thematic searches during program
preparations have led me to many delightful dances that I would
likely have never encountered. <br>
<br>
In preparing for Appleseed Allemande, I discovered that several
choreographers who are beekeepers have written dances that honor
bees with imitative dance moves. When I introduce 'Beauty and the
Bees' with a word of gratitude to pollinators, dancers nod, and
some share their interest as apiarists, and connections are made,
and the dance community is warmed and strengthened. <br>
<br>
When the amazing duo of Celador was coming to play for us while on
their debut tour, a conversation with the guitarist revealed the
source of the name - a playful search unearthed the dance 'Cellar
Door' - this highly accessible triple progression dance is a
delight on the floor, and it was a pleasure to give a tip of the
hat to this talented and adventuresome musical duo while
introducing the title. Another night, the author's inspiration
[a discussion of Dorothy Parker's assertion that the phrase
'cellar door' was the most beautiful sound in English] sparked
entertaining discussion while the band tuned up.<br>
<br>
The choreography of the recently shared Anderson Ferry Reel goes a
long way in recognizing the skillful work of the tugs as they
jockey the barges, and recollecting the feel of the current in
crossing a mighty River. A reflective comment while naming the
dance and choreographer, on the art of the dance writer in
interpreting the pull of the water awakens memories in dancers who
have fished or kayaked or traveled blue highways to cross by
ferry....<br>
<br>
It's about connections.<br>
It's about honoring artists and creativity.<br>
It's about a shared celebration of the world in which we dance.<br>
<br>
You're Among Friends<br>
Dancing Raindrops<br>
Harmony Supper Table<br>
Skinny Dippin'<br>
Centennial Reel<br>
Cranberry Muffins<br>
Smooth Sailing<br>
Winter Sleigh Ride<br>
Crickets at Night<br>
. . . <br>
Introducing the name of the dance and the author will often set
thoughts to dancing, along with our feet.<br>

one of my favorites! It's also quite tricky.
Unless you're calling to experienced dancers, you
may choose to avoid this dance, with contra
corners into a hey where the ones are dancing with
their partners, but the twos with a shadow in a
different minor set, it's ripe for beginner, and
even experienced confusion. Besides being a
challenge when in the middle of the set, the end
effects are tricky, and can easily increase the
confusion factor...<br clear="none">
