I'll try to engineer pictures of the event!
![]() This week is the City of Evanston's Victorian Camp. I'll be there two days to teach the kids dances from the mid-19th century. Then, I'll visit at the end of the week as H.M., where the campers will have an opportunity to apply some of what they've learned. I'll try to engineer pictures of the event!

![]() I’ve recently had the opportunity to teach Antique and Heritage Dances to several groups of 6–11-year-olds as part of the City of Evanston Arts Camp on the theme of Inheritance where we were Discovering Dance History. It was loads of fun for me, and I’m pretty sure the kids enjoyed it, too! They certainly learned the dances, including “Gathering Peascods” and “Strip the Willow” with enthusiasm. All the groups learned one in common, and then dances of different social classes and periods by group. The range of activities offered a the Noyes Cultural Arts Center are well worth investigating if you live within proximity. You need not be a resident of Evanston to enroll; check them out and support the terrific work they are doing with kids of all ages (adults included!). |
