We were joined by a few more dancers and a new musician whose name I unfortunately failed to get. We had the back room largely to ourselves and a few spectators and it was an afternoon full of great craic! We danced a couple of the Ballyvorney Jig Set, the Clare Lancers, Three Tunes, Four Hand, Siege of Ennis and a bit of stepping about.

21:01Comments (0) Trackbacks (0) Cape May Set Dance Weekend 2008This report's way overdue but here's what we did last Nov in Rehoboth. Ahhhh. The throbbing sensation in the feet that follows a full weekend of dancing. Wouldn't trade it for just about anything. Wait, I said that last year. It's still true though. Now, on to this year's dancing excursion. Continue reading "Cape May Set Dance Weekend 2008"Monday, March 16. 2009

21:15Comments (0) Trackbacks (0) Lochrann's Jan 25, 2009This was a fun session in the new space at Lochrann's. They recently expanded into a whole new room with a larger stage as well as an added meeting room that could work as a session space in a pinch. Things were quiet enough that we had the new room mostly to ourselves. With music played by Wendy, Joseph, David and Mark, Susan, Andi, Margi, Dwayne, Billye, Brandi, Grady, Karen and I danced several sets and some ceili dances along with a bit of stepping about.
Come on out next time! Keep an eye on the Facebook page for the session as well as Lochrann's page. Sunday, October 26. 2008Cape May 2008 Pt VSigh. The weekend is over. It started with a gorgeous morning with a bright sun and huge breakers.
Padraig started off with the Kilyon Set.
We then moved over to finish up the Sliabh gCua set.
And wandered the boardwalk and saw dogs everywhere. Poor little bored puppy.
Sunday, October 26. 2008Cape May 2008 Pt IVI have been suitably chastized by Jean and while Susan and I drink Jack and cokes here's what we did with Dwayne and Margie today. This has been a seriously dance-filled day. It started out with a workshop led by Padraig McEneany on the Antrim Square Set followed by the Aherlow Set, trailed by the Tory Island Set and part of the Sliabh gCua set. The first one is a very short, but very fun set that the people back home can look forward to learning soon.
At some point during the workshop someone out in the crowd had a senior moment as observed by Padraig but Susan said it sounded like someone had had a senior movement. We were both glad it turned out not to be the latter. Between the workshops we wandered around a bit, took pictures of the taffy house and the Sea Witch Festival.
After a quick slice of pizza it was back to the afternoon workshop to finish out the sets. We had time for Susan to run about town while I slept and then met Margie and Dwayne for dinner and then back to dancing!
I don't know how many sets we danced. Most of them because it seemed that most were ones we had done before or they were sets we'd learned that day. We both love it when someone calls a set because even with an unfamilar one we can figure most things out on the fly by listening to what's coming up. We closed the evening by dragging our very tired legs upstairs and soothing them with some Jack and Coke. Here's the last dancing picture for the day.
Once we'd sort of settled in back at the room, with the sound of the breakers on the beach, we were wandering through the TV channels looking for something that was worth watching. One does have to be careful about flipping through TV channels late at night though. You're likely to hear "What's the secret to moisturizing your hair?" click "Cleaning your nose." Ewwwww. On that note... Goodnight. Saturday, October 25. 2008Cape May 2008 Pt IIIIt's relatively early in the morning given that we went to bed about 1am. I'm sure many other people stayed up later but we were done. After a snack of pop-tarts which is a bit of a story in itself, we collapsed and woke up to this:
It doesn't look all that different from yesterday's picture but it's a wet windy morning. Perfect for staying inside and dancing all day. First up is breakfast followed by a workshop with Padraig and Roisin followed by another workshop with Padraig and Roisin! Oh, and a bite to eat in between. |
