Feet & Voice

We will be learning to dance to the human voice. Through song and lilting we will explore the voice repertoire. The voice is the oldest instrument. It has been said that if there was music there was dancing. In areas where instruments were hard to come by dancers often danced to lilting. Ronan Regan recently came and talked at our tea time where he spoke of house “parties” and homes where there might only be one fiddle. Players would pass the fiddle along each taking a turn to play. There was a lot of listening and conversation about the music. Rather than formal teaching. This term we will look lilting and dancing to the voice.

Both the beginners class and the intermediate class will be covering the same material. Please feel free to join both classes if you’d like extra accountability. There will also be a woodshed for each level. Woodsheds are a place for you to practice the material.
