Coming to us from the US, Lisa Greenleaf calls regularly in the greater New England areas and has been a staff member at dance camps and festivals throughout the country and Europe.  Her specialties include traditional and contemporary contras, squares, contra caller's training and English country. She also is the organizer for two contra series in Concord, Massachusetts.

Andrew Findlay started folk dancing while at university in Reading. Jane Curry started a bit earlier, having invaded Bradford University's dance group with some 6th-form friends. They were both involved in running the Berkshire Midsummer Folk Festival, Sidmouth, and the 1982 Inter-Varsity Folk Dance Festival before taking over London Barndance in 1983. Both are
independent IT consultants, so working from home has been normal for the past 20 years!

This webinar is sponsored by the Friends of Cecil Sharp House, a UK-based organization committed to the preservation and promotion of English folk dance and music. During the pandemic we have organized a variety of dances, webinars, and workshops on Zoom that have attracted an international audience. More information, including how to become a member, can be found at our website, https://fcsh.org.uk/about.html.

Registration is free but limited; email judith@fcsh.org.uk to reserve your place. The webinar will be recorded; live attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions of our panelists.

I’m happy to answer questions if you have them.

Louise.
