Where does the
music come from?
Music from Eastern Europe
differs from that which we know from Northern Europe - both in
the rhythms and the instruments played. .However if you
can count to 3, then four then occasionally to 5 or 7 you will
find the rhythms to which we dance! There are only a few
basic steps. It is how these are woven together that a new dance
is created.
A lot of dances are danced to recorded music but our all day
dances include music played live whenever we can. Our musicians
play instruments that are as compatible as possible with the
countries or period or origin. Dance music is acoustic:
the instruments include: guitar, mandolin, violin, bass,
whistles, clarinet, accordion, percussions and pipes. |

I'm a singer
or musician can I take part?
We are always very happy to accommodate musicians who would like
to play this genre of music. A good starting point is 'Dancing
in John's Garden' as these are informal dance parties. Just turn
up and play. Singers also very welcome. |
