Workshop – Border – ‘Waiting for the Vaccine’ solo dance

Linda Glanville and Pauline Woods-Wilson will teach a newly devised Border-style dance for solo dancers in a square space.  This can also be danced by 2 dancers in the same square space, or multiple solo dancers in separate spaces.  It is a single step dance with 5 figures and 6 choruses.  The workshop is aimed at those who already have Border or Cotswold dancing experience.

The dance will be taught first with a ‘Basic’ chorus, then variations for a ‘Progressive’ chorus will be provided for more experienced dancers.  Music will be provided by Jay Glanville.

– Skill level: ability to single step, with Border or Cotswold dance experience

– Equipment required: ideally 2 mid length sticks, 16″-24″ long, or longish wooden spoons or similar

– Space: a square space of 2m x 2m

– Tune: Four Up, by Barry Goodman (musicians welcome, although sorry, you won’t be heard via Zoom)
