Dance _at_ Broadstairs Folk Week
BROADSTAIRS FOLK WEEK
(11 - 18th August) ANNOUNCES
English Folk Dance
Demystified
Our job as teachers and callers at Broadstairs is make
you feel welcome and relaxed, and to demystify the jargon. If you are a complete beginner, you will already know how
to make a circle, and probably a right or left hand star, so try the ceilidhs
and our callers session for the utterly terrified novice dancer – your feedback
will be invaluable for budding callers, some of whom will be equally terrified!
If you have done a bit at barn dances and ceilidhs, and want to try something
different, have a look at what’s on offer at the school – between us, we will be
doing old, new, easy, demanding, English, American, all in an accessible and
friendly way. If you do not understand a piece of jargon, then please
ask! The odds are you won’t be
alone!
Come dancing –
alone, or with a partner! We love it ... If you don’t, it will be our
fault!
