English
Country Dancing
The Mansfield U3A English Country Dancing
group began to meet more than seven
years ago to help members improve their dancing skills. Gill (our
caller) and Brian (music) have continued to travel
from beyond Gainsborough to share their knowledge.
A number of our
original members are still attending and our venue remains at South
Forest. For the benefit of new members (and in case we have forgotten)
dances are initially walked through and the formations can be long.
circular or square.
The aims are to
enjoy this social activity, have some gentle exercise along with the
music and history of the dances from past centuries. New dances are
introduced on a regular basis – they look wonderful and complicated
when we get them right but can be hilarious when wrong. We have no
expectations of invitations to perform in a BBC costume drama!
We will resume after the winter break on 21st January 2012 and it may
be possible to take one or two new members, particularly if they have
danced previously. See me at the monthly meeting.
Best wishes for 2012.
