[Hartwood] Demo/Dance opportunity Wed June 20th, Courtenay

[doerksen at island.net]

Greetings, all!

Beyond the Peel and the Blue Moon Winery are holding a medieval  
Solstice Feast on Wednesday June 20th (in Courtenay, more or less).  
They (well, it started with Marla) asked if we would provide 30 mins  
to 1 hour of participatory dance, perhaps with live music. I said I'd  
send them an email on Friday.

Being dropped into my lap so quickly, I came up with -maybe- half an  
hour of at least me leading some simple dances with music on CD.

With some conversation on Wednesday night, there's the potential for  
up to an hour of a possible presentation dance plus teaching and  
leading some simple dances, all to live music (beginning with  
Cecille... Aleyn?... Sgain?... And/or...?).

I have 4 dancers, so far; if another 2 or 4 come forward, that would  
be splendid! We have April and May to learn/practice; please let me  
know your availability schedule.

Musicians, please get in touch with both Cecille (canzonet3 at gmail.com) and me.

On Friday, I plan to tell the organizer that we will have, at minimum,  
one presentation dance and 3 easy-to-follow dances for the attendees  
(possibly with live music: Cecille and...?).

The presentation dance is to be decided (I'm leaning towards  
Red-House), and the participation dances something like: double  
bransle, Maltese bransle, tangle bransle, and La Farandole.

I am open to suggestions/alterations. But soon!

The Shire -will- receive an honorarium for this service.

So... Dancers? Musicians? Please talk...
