From the old site…(posted during COVID shutdown)
Since Tuesday night folk dancing is canceled for the near future, I went to a website that has an extensive collection of videos, and linked to the ones I recognize. I thought we could do some of them at home, dancing alone but together on the same night. Some of these I haven’t thought about in 45 years, and it was incredibly nostalgic seeing them again
It’s kind of amazing that in the days before the Internet we kept them alive just through group memory. What this group does is pretty much the same as what we’ve been doing all these years. We know lots more, but this is the intersection of our list with theirs.
