[Wyewood] Dance practice in Wyewood is thriving!

[sbonnevi at wamail.net]

What a lovely dance practice last night for Wyewood.  We had 7 dancers 
(well, eight, if I include myself) and one observer.

After a short warm-up, we did Turkelone from the English Inns of Court 
sources, then Master Trahaearn taught a little known dance from the same 
source called Lady Layton's Measure.  Then we went French with Branle 
des Pois (1588) and Basse La Franchoise Nouvelle (est 1480?). After a 
break (where everyone sampled "Swedish Vanilla Almond" bread from the 
bread machine), we did Oringe (from English Gresley MS around 1500) and 
finished with Jenny Pluck Pares, an English Country Dance from a 1651 
source.  Did I miss anything?

I hope that the July practice has as many enthusiastic participants.  
Next Wyewood practice is Thursday, July 25.  Same bat-time, same 
bat-channel.
