In case you don't know about them, I'd like to bring a series of videos to your
attention.
These are produced by the Historical Tea and Dance Society based in Pasadena, California,
http://historicalteaanddance.org/
and each week they interview a caller, musician or organiser and ask them to talk about 5
things they are passionate about.
Many of these relate to "English" (i.e. Playford-style) dancing but certainly
not all, and this week the interviewee was the
wonderful Lisa Greenleaf. She has a lot of good advice for callers of any genre, and I
believe dancers would also be interested
in her attitude to calling and dancing. Did you know that when she lived in Boston she
was a regular dancer with the English
group led by Helene Cornelius with music by Bare Necessities? Well I didn't.
