Dance this month --

Wyewood practice held on Thursday, Mar 21:

4 persons in attendance (including me).  Did some dances for 4 persons 
(Anello/ring, Hit or Misse, Cuckolds alla Row, Bizzaria d'Amore); also 
did two 15th C English dances, Lebens Disinens and Grene Gynger.  Looked 
at new list of dances by region/time period to select dances we wanted 
to do.  Will use those lists to track what the group has done before and 
likely dances might want to learn.  some lively discussions on "what the 
heck did they mean by that...?"

Other dance opportunities:

  - Madrone dance practice, 2nd Tuesday - March practice had 6 dancers 
plus HL Ranulph as musician.  Did the Old Alman and lots of dances for 6 
including English Country dances Boatman, Beggar Boy and Picking of 
Sticks.

  - Porte de ;'eau practice, 1st Thursday -  I was feeling under the 
weather and did not make it; heard it was much fun and they re-learned 
Bizzaria d'Amore.

Known World Dance & Music Symposium is coming up in June -- College 
Station Texas.  This event is a lot of fun for those interested in dance 
and/or dance music of the renaissance.

I'm available if anyone has questions about dance practices ...
