Come out to the Woodshed - a community space for creativity
We meet on 3rd or 4th Sundays from 3p-5p at the Burlingham Water Tower dance hall (same location as the regular Friday night ECD) and it's FREE! Save our next dates on your calendar:
4th Sunday, August 25, 2024 3rd Sunday, October 20, 2024 3rd Sunday, December 15, 2024
The woodshed series lets callers (or would-be callers) try out new (or new-to-them) material. Callers present dances - typically English (some contra) - and ask the dancers for feedback on particular or general points. When not calling, callers also dance. We'll have at least one experience dance musician and possibly others sitting in (best for players who can sight-read or learn by ear quickly and play up to dance tempo). PCDC donates the rental and musician expense because this serves a valuable function, so everybody gets in free.
This is a working session, and dance geeks enjoy it very much. There's a high proportion of discussion and experimenting to try things different ways. This is a great opportunity to see works-in-progress, influence old and new dance (re)creations, or develop skills of your own in a safe supportive setting.
We whole-heartedly invite you to be one of those dancers that helps to bring these new dances to life. Please RSVP because it helps to know if we have enough dancers. You will of course be welcome if you just show up.
If you're interested in sharing or presenting a dance, and playing for the series contact us. We try to set the program of what's to be presented 2 weeks before the date.
