GCD - English Country Dancing

gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Thank you so much for posting this! I am planning to attend a session of ECD tomorrow night and wanted to see what it looked like before I went. This video really helped me get a better understanding of this type of dancing. I like it!  (grin)

I'm a beginner. Can you give me the names of these dances?

From 1:25 to 2:31 it´s NONESUCH. Tune from the 16th century (after Giorgio Mainerio 1535-1582), dance figures in Playford´s English Dancing Master, 1st edition 1651.

1) Leather Lake House
2) The Physical Snob
3) The Gypsy Round [Eric Leber]
4) Nonesuch
5) Key to the Cellar [Jenny Beer]
6) Look Both Way Ways [Rich Jackson]
7) The Ragg
8) Elizabeth [Colin Hume]

I've listed the choreographers of the modern English dances. It's a lively selection!

it's so much fun. way better and enjoyable than dancing these days.

Perfect video to introduce people to the various styles.  I like that it is a social setting, not staged.

Looks great - such joyful gatherings of dancers!
Nice balance of dance styles, music, and pace.
Nothing too long - keeps us engaged.
Bravo !
