Hunting The Fox
(Trenchmore) is another good Colonial Period dance. It is
a longways set dance. (No progression) for as many as
will. Unphrased. Music: Any jig will do..All
forward and back. Twice. Lead lines around (slip hey)
and back to place. All that again. All make bridges,
first couple go under followed by rest to all are back in
places. A swing partners with elbow hooks. Repeat if you
want.

Hey Rich: Don't waste your time
trying to getting drunk beginners to dance duple minors. You
don't need to carry a torch for contra dances...they are
not going to know the difference anyway, and won't thank
you if you have to spend more than a minute to
"teach" the dance. Sir Roger de Coverly is a
good one. Family version of Virginia Reel good. Repeat
it if you have to. They'll love it. If you must do a
duple, Jefferson & Liberty. Just start with top couple
being active and the others join in when they reach the top,
having watched the first couple suffer through it.
That's the way the old dancing masters did it anyway so
you will be correct that way. Good luck. cheers,
Dudley

Hello Folks,
Does anyone have dances that they are
willing to share of Colonial period dances that are adapted
to a Party Dance environment for non dances? I instantly
think of Rakes of Mallow (longways) and Haste to the Wedding
(as a Duple Minor).
I have a few others, but would like
to add to my repertoire. Easy is what I am looking for.
Alcohol involved in reenactment party dance.
Thanks, From one of the
colonies!

New subject: Colonial Dances
There's no one answer to that question. Instead, you need to ask whoever
is using the term what they mean by it.
One obvious answer would be from 1607 (when the English colony in
Jamestown, Virginia, was founded) through 1776 (when independence was
declared.) However, that assumes that you are only interested in English
colonies (Spanish colonies in America started earlier), and that you are
talking about the colonial period of the United States of America (the
Australian colonial period goes much later.) Also, the person using the
term may not be interested in that entire period, or may be including
dances from near that period in their use of the term.
The Wayside Inn Steppers, in Sudbury, Massachusetts, refer to what we do as
Colonial Dance, but we mostly do dances from the late colonial and early
Federalist periods, from 1750 to 1810.
