Just wondering where one can get some renaissance dance stlye lessons at or around Houston,TX?
That's not a bad idea at all. Speaking of Houston, I just moved here from more up north to Spring, North Houston, what have you, 77069 area code...anyone of RF live near that area? Dont mean to lead the thread off topic, just curious.
I have seen them online - just google it
springs a good area of town, i live in katy myself. The only thing i was able to find that was renaissance style was belly dancing, which is a good dance just not for me, i dont think people want to see me in a bikini shakeing my beer belly, lol. but thanks for the help.
There might be a group in that area, but I don't recall hearing of one. Ask a cast member from TRF, if you know any (there are some on this group). In Dallas we call it "Historical Dance" or "English Country dance". We also had an Italian Court dance/16thC group a few years back. Expand your keyword search, you may find some people from other faires in your area that would get together and teach basic dances.
Good luck,
Capt Marga
thanks, ill do that ;D

I'm in Cypress (near Willowbrook)-- which is the NW side of Houston. Don't know of any classes out here, but I'm still getting used to the area myself.
The stuff I've seen is mostly Scottish or Irish dance classes. I was the choreographer at TRF for many years, but I don't know enough dances to actually hold classes for any length of time.

You grab one ankle, brother, and i'll grab the other... let's see how much change he has in his pockets. :D
Ahhhh, the almighty thread jack!!!
Yaarrrr! We be thread-pirates, here t'be hijackin' yer threads, arrrr! :P
BLOODY PIRATES! In all seriousness, anyone in my area, we shoudl hang out sometime. Not sure if I will make it to Sherwood, when I will make it to Scarby and TRF is such a long way away....Quick, I need a time machine and it can't be rum.
blue and mouse, i would enjoy meeting some new people, the people i go to faire these days dont go every weekend , so it would be nice to meet some of yall.
We shall synchronise watches and figure out times to meet up. Why should faire stop just because there isn't one going on at the moment..I submit it should not!
I must agree with you on that, well said.
EGAD, you guys are gonna make me throw a party, aren't ya...
party sounds good.
How about a party with Renaissance Dancing?!?
(Trying to get the post back on-topic ;) )
Yeah I thought that was the reason. LMAO
A renaissance dance party..sounds redundant as dancing happens whever the ren-spirit is present. Sorry about the thread-jack. Ask Fraser, it seems to be what I am good at on here...as for Blue..partay? Not heaping it on her, but why not..I don't mean specifically at Blue's but why not a party in this area... Whenever is best and a faire isn't in progress...the long gap between Scarby seems quite nice. I dunno, just spit balling. But, this is all best suited for a seperate thread. I digress. BACK TO THE DANCING!
*DOH! Damn thread jackers!* :D
*whistles innocently* ;D
Seriously, though, a party would be nice. Get out of my hermitude
