Workshop - January 23, 2010

Here’s a brief overview of the topics we were educated on:

• Discussed the faires, schools, team building events, and other items we attended last year.



• Introduced our characters all around. We’ve begun a firm foundation on which to build at future workshops.



• Danced: Black Allemande, The Montarde Bransle, Queen Mary’s Promenade, Sellinger’s Round, Picking of Sticks, Black Nag, Gathering Peascods, and Chestnut



• Reviewed a brief history of Mary Stuart & Elizabeth Tudor and how their lives are entwined, with focus on the 1560’s & 1570’s.



• Learned dance history



• Received some basic proverbs & expressions that were used in the Renaissance.
