CANCELLED Thursday Solar: Dance! June 18

Arts & Sciences, Dance, Solar

Sorry folks, your host has had a late-breaking conflict and can’t teach this month.

We meet again for dance. It is our hope as a canton that we will bring refinement and grace back to our fair province. We will recap two 15th century Italian dances: Petit Rose and Amoroso, and then proceed to another 15th century Italian dance, Anello.

We will meet at 6 pm and continue until about 8. If you are joining us after 6, please confirm that we are still meeting.

The location is weather pending, and this page will be updated day-of with a call. We will also update the discord.

If the weather is fair: we will meet atop Belvedere Castle in Central Park.

If the weather is foul: we will meet at Þorfinn’s home: 165 W 66th Street #4E, New York, NY 10023. Tell the doorman you’re visiting Alec. (The building as a whole is wheelchair-accessible, but the bathroom is not).

In case of foul weather, we will decide as a group either to dance something that fits within a small living room, or work on whatever crafts folks bring.

All are welcome to join us. No Society membership or previous experience required. No fee. Modern attire; come as you are. We look forward to seeing you! RSVP to 143578@members.eastkingdom.org would be helpful so we do not start dance instruction without you.

Thursday Solar: Dance! May 21

Arts & Sciences, Dance

Weather Update: We are ON. We might catch the tail of a drizzle, but there’s some covered space.

We have not had dance practice locally for many years, and it is our hope as a canton that we will bring refinement and grace back to our fair province. We will learn two 15th century Italian dances: Petit Rose and Amoroso.

We will meet at 6 pm and continue until about 8.

The location is weather pending, and this page will be updated day-of with a call. We will also update the discord.
