UPDATE: THL Christiana will not be able to attend due to inclement weather. Dance will still be happening, though, under the leadership of Master Dafydd.
Message from the Dance Leaders:
Greetings unto the Hall!
Master Dafydd and I are delighted to announce that there will be dance at this year’s Twelfth Night. As space is limited, we are unlikely to have time to run a formal dance class prior to the ball itself (2:30-4pm in the gym where the armored/rapier fields are).
However! The link below will bring you to the Teaching Guide which includes the set list, complete with dance steps, videos of others dancing each dance, and clear music so you can practice at home. All dances will be taught and called during the course of the ball itself as well!
Likewise, if you are interested in helping to provide live music for the ball at Twelfth Night, please let either myself or Master Dafydd ( Dave Lankford) know. We’d love to have you join the fun!
There is a link to the sheet music sources for the set list below, if you’d like to peruse it before committing. There will be a dedicated space for practice prior to the ball on the 13th as well.
Yours in service,
THL Christiana Galyard de Caen & Master Dafydd Arth
