An excellent start to the term, and best of all, two new dancers (hello! you dance very well!).

In the first hour we danced:

Branles - circle dances

Scots branles (or "Branles de l'Escosse")
Washerwomen's branle (or "Branle des Lavandieres")
Pinagay

Old Measures - stately dances for couples in a column

15th Century Italian dances

Petit Riens (follow-the-leader dance for three people in a line)
Anello (for four people in a square)

Jenny Pluck Pears (an English Country Dance, from the 17th century, for 3 couples in a circle)

In the second hour, as did several more challenging dances, as usual:

Lioncello Vecchio - a 15th century Italian dance for a couple
La Figlia di Guglielmino - a complex 15th century Italian dance for a couple, with many timing-changes
Heart's Ease - a simple 17thC English Country Dance ... but with the tempo varying constantly as we danced

As always, I'm looking forward to next week, and to the rest of the term.
