Week 1
Monday: Dancing the Tune: Listening to the Musician
Throughout this month, we’re using video recordings of musicians and different instruments to explore how the musician can guide our dancing.
Watch how each musician creates the music. For example:
- Follow the movement of the fiddle bow and fingers, and translate those movements and sounds into your dancing.
- Watch the piper’s hands on the regulators and chanter, and listen to what the drones add.
- Notice the rhythm, phrasing, ornamentation, lift, and energy each instrument offers.
I’ve created a YouTube playlist for the whole month. If you find a video that inspires you, please add it to the playlist.

Homework:
- For Wednesday:
- Find a video featuring a tune, musician, or instrument that inspires you to dance—something you would like to explore—and bring it to class on Wednesday.
- We’ll work individually with our own selections and then come together as a group to explore what each tune, musician, and instrument brings to our dancing.
