Hi all,
Hope you're looking forward to the workshop on Monday. Please keep inviting friends
and spreading the word.
Please remember to arrive by 7.15pm. Here's the plan for the evening:
7.15 - Ravens arrive, sort out the room and bring some water up from the kitchen (if there
are any jugs available)
7.30 - Welcome from me and ask about levels of experience, split into groups
7.40 - ravens DERT dance
7.45 - stepping
7.55 - teaching
8.30 - break for cake (Nic and Sue), info on joining the team (mailing list from Nikki,
money from Rachel), ravens dance
8.45 - teaching
9.15 - displays
9.30 - pub (and encourage people to join!)
I want to plan to have 3 groups so that we can accommodate 6 - 15 people. If we have fewer
than 6 we'll amalgamate the groups. The groups, assuming everyone can come, will be:
Teacher = Ffion, dancers = 1) Hannorah, 2) x, 3) x, 4) Sinead, 5) Sue
Teacher = Rachel, dancers = 1) Jo, 2) Janet, 3) x, 4) x, 5) Josie
Teacher = Lindsey, dancers = 1) Aisha, 2) x, 3) Nic, 4) x, 5) katherine
We'll try and teach every group these figures, with the option of adding extra DERT
dance figures depending on how well it's going:
Walk on, step in 4s, clash
Single guard in 8s
Open ring for glass into haymarket
Moving fixy
Lock
Fourth corner
Outward facing ring and 5 person lock to finish
Does anyone have access to numbered bibs, perhaps from a sports team? These would be
useful for marking out numbers when we display the dance. If not we can improvise with
paper, a marker pen and safety pins!
See you on Sunday / Monday,
Ffion x
