SAT 10:45-12:45 ~ EJ JONES ~ Introduction to Breton Dance {2hrs}
Breton dance is an old tradition from when houses were built on dirt foundations. The family building the house would invite over the whole community to drink cider and dance on the spot where the house would be built to stomp down the dirt. The simple dances taught in this workshop are accessible to people with no dance experience because they emphasize bringing the whole community together in rhythm. The music played during the dance is characterized by a call and response usually done by two singers or instrumentalists. These dances are still done today in Brittany and music and dance are still vibrant parts of everyday life. Come learn some easy dances for any time you’re at a concert of Celtic music. piperjones.com/ $30
