What do we do?
For those asking, what is English Country Dancing, then this clip from Poldark might give an idea. We aren't so well choreographed or as elegantly dressed (21st Century after all!) but it gives the idea of moving with music in coordination with others.

New Year, New Dancers
A brilliant time last night at Lydham Village Hall for the first clubnight of the year and 26 dancers. Plus caller and 6 in the band so many thanks to all the helper sin the kitchen making drinks
Given so many newcomers we focused on getting through the dances in an orderly fashion. The "1's lead down and cast back" in Sun Assembly did cause a little confusion with newcomers trying to work out where they sarted the next round but otherwise everyone coped admirably.
Dances included: Gued Man of Ballangigh, Sun Assembly, Childgrove, Dartington, Turning by Threes, I care not for these ladies, Halfe Hannekin and Circassian Circle.
The band played beautifully throughout.
Next clubnight 22 January starts at 8pm
