Class 3, term 2

Open class (8 dancers)

• Old Measures - stately dances for a column of couples
• Earl of Essex Measure
• Tinternell
• Black Almain
• Rufty Tufty - 17th century English dance for four people
• Gelosia - a dance for three couples (this time we had the women lead the partner-changing too)
• Official Branle 

Advanced class (5 dancers)

We began working on Arbeau's Gavotes. We danced through Arbeau's variation, building up speed, then practiced a few variations of our own. 

We finished with a lightning-speed whirl through Parson's Farewell.
