Jigs Instructional
16th'18th January 2009.
Sutton Bonington Village
Hall
Following the success and obvious demand for a dual-sessioned approach covering beginners and experience dancers this will form the basis of this intensive, but highly entertaining weekend where you get a chance to be an individual and get to know fellow dancers from as far afield as Banchory and Bodmin.
Whether you are a relatively new dancer needing to work on your stepping and hand movements, or a more experienced dancer with bad habits in need of an MOT, retune and a chance to work again on your stepping and hand movements, the jigs instructional provides the ideal opportunity to improve as an individual dancer and to enrich your teams dance repertoire with the most concentrated and individually expressive form of the Morris, the jig.
Give the rest of your team a bit more of a rest and your audiences a bit more variety.One and two man jigs and jigs for multiple dancers may well be the answer. The main morris traditions will be covered plus several others. Every side should give it a go and every new recruit should be sent to the weekend to learn what the Morris is really about.
