Susan's polka, galop, & two-step workshops
Galopade!
The original figured galopades of the pre-Victorian era. Sequences
for lines or circles of couples incorporate early nineteenth-century
step sequences interspersed with vigorous galops. Energetic!
Polka & Galop
Beginners: basic polka and galop plus the Esmerelda and the Bohemian.
Intermediate: reversing plus the Sicilienne and other challenging variations from
the mid-19th century.
(must be comfortable with basic polka and galop)
The Hongroise
A flying, heel-clicking dance from mid-19th-century.
Prior couple dance experience required.
Turn of the Century Two-Step
The dance for Sousa and Joplin tunes, the two-step was the dance rage
of the late 1890's and early 1900's. Basic two-step, reverse turns,
and easy variations such as the Glide Two-Step, Military Two-Step,
Tres Chic, and Tantivy.
The Pasadena
Lively waltz galop-based dance from 1900 created to dislodge the two-step
from the ballroom.
Prior couple dance experience required.
