I will be teaching two dance workshops for The Elegant Arts Society in New York City this Sunday, April 6th. Logistical details are here.
The first (1:00-3:45pm) will focus on the dances of the Regency era (1810-1820), including steps and figures for country dances and the Royal Scotch and Caledonian Quadrilles, plus the Regency-era waltz. The Royal Scotch Quadrilles feature the "star" figure described in an earlier article here.
The second class (4:00-6:00pm) will cover the popular low/high dance pairing of 16th-century Europe, the pavane and galliard. Along with the simple, flowing steps of the pavane, we will also learn the lively kicks and capers of the galliard. The galliard material will include the basic galliard sequence as well as non-standard rhythms and sequences, including double-length variations, pauses and poses, and syncopated sequences.
For your information, this post showed up in my RSS feed around 9 p.m. EDT on April 8th. Posts from this blog have been delayed by a few days before, but I'm afraid I didn't pay much attention at the time. This seems to be the only blog I read* that has this problem. I'm using Google Reader.
* Not that I read many. I'm not sure if any of the others use TypePad, so I've added another one to my feed to see if the same thing happens.

How annoying! And after I made sure to post it earlier than usual, too. I'm afraid I know almost nothing about RSS feeds, but I will ask the Typepad people about it.

I wouldn't have been able to make it anyway, since I'm up to my eyeballs in essays and exams, not to mention living many hours away. I just thought you might like to know.
My feed picked up a post from the other TypePad blog I added last night. It was posted at 7:30 this morning, and it showed up in my feed at 11 a.m.
Technology is strange.
