Fella in blue looks like he would rather be dead lol. This ain't even close to Irish footwork either. You really think it was all so stiff and same and no one tried different steps etc ? In the age when even the bards were all improvising on a theme instead of playing the same thing ? Which btw why are your bards playing the basic structure identically over and over again ? Historians who deal in these matters should take art courses - otherwise it is just silly. As if people from the past were mentally challenged...
Varies - many folks make their own, or pay / get a friend / spouse to . Or vendors at Renaissance Faires, or some such combination Been so long I don’t have specific place ideas off hand
Well, there are multiple types of Schottisches. But, for the style I do, the start of the following video has as intro -- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qCKGJ-LQHB8.html
I like this, I too dance on my own in my kitchen, which is the biggest room. One has to stay on top of the madness that is the outside world right now. Love from a fellow dancer from germany. 💃♥️💪
That was, um, kinda magical, actually! I mean, I felt like I was actually on the floor dancing--not sure next to you, with you, or as you, but just sitting here in this chair I could feel the weight transferring from foot to foot.
@@KlausECD Oh yes, thanks. We have a scheme in Russian too. I’m more interested in who came up with how they came up with the dance, who first danced it, to explain to the children with an example!
@@Odna_actrisa -- I'm relativwly new, so don't know all the details. For the incarnation in how we dance, it has its roots in the Original Renaissance Pleasure Faire in Southern California, probably in 70's, maybe earlier. Richard Chase, who I believe learned from Cecil Sgarpe, brought English Country Dancing to the Faire. If this tune was from him or members if the performance groups recreating from Playford, I don't know. But I think one reason we side (squirly) different from most (shoulder to shoulder). Tune changes are either to make it easier to okay with instruments folks had, or, the tune bored the musicians and they decided to merge with other traditional tubes that fit the timing. A start of what I think I know.
A few stylistic "flourishes", but it's nice to see this (not simple) dance performed by dancers who are thoroughly familiar with it and clearly enjoy it.
Well. After seeing another group's vid of this dance, I looked the music up in Playford, and discovered that the 'B' section of the music isn't there; it is evidently a Rickerism, interpolated from Praetorius (as was the pairing with Parsons). Clever fellow, that Ricker.
