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!

Thanks,

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

- 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.
