I recently called Pat Shaw’s K & E for the first time. I think of it as a contra
dance, in its own unusual formation, though I guess one is more likely to encounter it in
an English dance setting. The dance has some challenges, and might be suitable for an
advanced session, but I’m happy to say the dancers at our regular Princeton contra dance
mastered it and enjoyed it. I think it’s a fabulous dance! Instructions are here:

It has its own tune, which is in Barnes 1.

Howdy Folks!
Interested to know of dances you’ve found that are NOT contra or square dances.
Catagorically fun dances, dances for irregular numbers of couples, circles of any sort,
odd formations, etc.
Matters not what tradition they may come from or if you think of the dance as strictly
for beginners, intermediate or advanced dancers.
Is this a dance you usually share? Is this a dance you save for “special occasions”?
Should be a fun “read”!
Best regards to all,
Frederick Park
