July 13, 2020

Fer will guide you through a review of the two-couple act of the performance repertoire.  This will NOT be just for people who want to perform, nor will it be a Rehearsal.  We're using the performance repertoire to generate the dances we'll try to envision as we try to get in a little vaguely Scottish Country Dancing-like movement. If we do get a chance to resume rehearsals or performing at any point, maybe this will serve as a reminder/jump-start. Or maybe those of you who have never performed will satisfy your curiosity about the kind of dances we perform. Once we're done moving, we can talk about what it's like to perform or tell stories about That One Performance, OMG! for the edification/amusement of all. Or maybe we'll all just get sweaty wandering around seemingly aimlessly in our living rooms to some really awesome music.

A FOD is the Facilitator of the Day - the person in charge of running a performance. Whether or not you ever intend to FOD, it's useful to know what's involved so that you can efficiently give your FOD the information they need and be a source of joy rather than stress to them.  Check email for Zoom login details or contact us at info [at] rscds-twincities.org.

July 27, 2020

We'll be using the "Retro Act" of the current performance repertoire to talk about reels of 3, reels of 4, and some strategies for envisioning how to do them when no one else is around.  And then for fun, we'll risk set and link for 3 solo style - no one can tell which end of the line you're on, so of course you'll get it right!  Check out the performance rep portion of our website for preview directions and videos if you're a prepare-in-advance sort of person.

It is recommended that you assemble the following things for class:
  • 6 markers to mark the 6 positions in a 3 couple set
  • 3 items you can use as stationary "obstacles" to go around
  • at least one non-stationary obstacle you can blame when things gang aft agley (pets or family members work well)
  • a comforting beverage
