Would You Like to try
Appalachian Dancing?
In 2010 we would like to
start a new team to run alongside our existing team of
dancers. The age range will be from 18 to 50. Dancers
need no previous experience as all steps and moves will be
taught. Musicians will need a certain amount of ability.
It is hoped that, after
an initial start period, the new team will become independent of
the "mother" group and perform under their own name.
For the
existing team, new members of any age are always welcome, but we
can only accept persons under 16 years of age if accompanied by
their parent. Previous experience of Appalachian dance is not
necessary (but it helps).
Experience
in other forms of dance is also useful but not a requirement.
The style of dance is energetic and requires a degree of
fitness to be effective.
New
members are welcome at any time of the year, but often autumn is
the best time to start to allow more time for tuition. The
spring and summer are usually busy preparing to dance out at
festivals.
New
dancers should expect around a year of tuition to reach a standard
for dancing out at public events.
