English dance workshop and evening dance with English caller and choreographer Colin HumeSaturday November 29, Glen Echo Town HallAfternoon English dance workshop 2-5 pmEvening Dance 8-11 pmColin Hume is one of England's foremost callers and choreographers of both American and English Dance, including Playford dances from the 17th c., and his own "Dances with a Difference", many of which contain unusual combinations of figures to baffle and/or delight the dancers. In addition Colin is a fine composer and interpreter of dances. He has called at Folk Dance courses in Holland and Denmark, and for Dance Weeks in the US at Pinewoods, Mendocino, Brasstown, and Buffalo Gap. We are fortunate that a short trip to the East Coast allows him to share dances - the classic Playford dances, his own, and those of other contemporary choreographers - with us in an afternoon workshop and evening dance on Saturday, November 29th. Colleen Reed (flute) and Liz Donaldson (piano) will provide the music for the afternoon, and will be joined by Elke Baker (fiddle) for the evening dance.The workshop and evening dance will take place at the Glen Echo Town Hall, Afternoon workshop $12/$10 (FSGW members); Evening dance $15/$12; Both events $24/$20.newsletter.
