This is an informal OOC workshop for anybody interested in learning some historic dances. I've got a short list of things that I'd like to try and I'm open to suggestions of others. I'm not an expert myself - I remember exactly one of those dances out of the box. So we'll be working things out as we go to an extent. But I'll do my best to prepare instructions for those that we want to learn and I'll also post links to videos on the forum. The main goal is to have fun!

I'll also bring speakers and the music we'll need. The only thing you really need to bring is flat shoes - the dances weren't designed for people wearing heels. Long skirts/dresses are optional but I definitely won't discourage anyone from wearing one! (I may wear one myself. We'll see.) Some water or a water bottle to fill up at the venue might be good as well but don't worry: this is not a fitness class.

Contact me on Diatribe or by email on nicoletta (dot) demaio (at) protonmail (dot) ch by the end of Monday 3 June if you're interested in taking part. Any more questions, just ask. I'm happy to help.
