Dance

The members of the Canton of Caldrithig are well known for their skill in a variety of historical dances. They are also well known for their ability to teach just about ANYBODY to dance with a respectable amount of skill. Nothing is required, save an interest in learning and a willingness to have a good time. Comfortable clothes, shoes and a water bottle would not go amiss however.  

The LAST dance practice of the month though, we ask people to come in medieval costume, for a ball.

Dance is currently on hiatus

• SCA Dance Cheat Sheets
• Letter of Dance Web Page
• Dance Instruction Main Page
• How to Read a Dance Manual gets you to several original folios that have been scanned in.
• List of Dance Videos gets you to a list of the videos - the video pages are really neat because they link you to the page of the dance manual from which they based their reconstruction in addition to the video.
• Western Social Dance: An Overview of the Collection contains links to:
  1.Burgundian Dance in the Late Middle Ages
  2.Renaissance Dance
  3.Transition from Renaissance Dance to Baroque Dance
  4.Baroque Dance
  (each of which has links to some of the steps, manuals etc). This is probably the most interesting place to start for beginners.
