Dancing Through Time - English Folk Dance
Bader Hall, King Edward VI School, Upper St. John Street, Lichfield, Staffordshire, WS14 9EE
Dancing forms an important part of our Cultural Heritage. This session will explore the development of the dancing in England from 1651, when dancing was being suppressed following the Civil War, to the present day.
The session will be led by experienced callers Kathryn and David Wright, who have an extensive knowledge of the history of the English Country Dance, with music provided by Rod Stradling.
All dances will be taught by means of a clear walk-through, with some basic instruction where appropriate, and will be accessible to those with limited experience of dancing whilst also be being enjoyable to those who have been dancing for many years.
Come along and experience how this form of dance rose to a peak of popularity across the whole range of Society in Georgian times, through its decline in the 19th Century and revival at the beginning of the 20th century through to the present time.
This workshop is suitable for anyone over 16 with an interest in dance!
