We will be doing a number of different classic dances including Hull's Victory and Sackett's Harbor. Here is the list of dances we will be selecting from for the workshops. Chorus Jig Hull's Victory Lady of the Lake Lady Walpole's Reel Petronella Portland Fancy Rory O'More Sackett's Harbor There were several others we considered, but had to leave off the list. We could easily have added a 3rd or even a 4th workshop. We hope to give our local dancers a feel for some of the history of contra dance and where some of the figures they encounter in modern dances came from.
