[Tower Ravens] Small spaces

Hi all, Last night we made sure Lizzie's ready for her dance out debut on Thursday and we did a bit of work on the first few figures in the new dance. Lindsey said some of the pubs for the week's crawl are very small so we also did some work on dancing in small spaces! For those who weren't there but are coming on Thursday the basic principles are: take small steps, keep swords as high as possible (this gives you and others more space to dance underneath), put less energy in - this makes it feel slower but it's better to be slow and tidy then energetic and dangerous. Other specific things to think about: keep walk round really tight for walk the dog and hoops; keep elbows in in open ring, glass and spin; if necessary make fourth corner into a V with number 3 further back and 2&4 angled towards each other. Hope that makes sense out of context! Let me know if you've got any questions. We've got lots of people for the crawl on Thursday so it should be a good one. Please feel free to come along for the social aspect even if you're not ready to dance out yet or haven't been to practice in a while. Also feel free to bring friends - it's always nice to have a rent-a-crowd :-) See you all soon, Ffion x
