ALL BLACKED UP

An evening spent dancing to All Blacked Up will offer a varied set of dances mostly from the English tradition, and others written by or collected from other callers. There will be some couple dances and some squares and circles etc and a ceilidh really is the best way to have your guests mix at your event. All of the dances are explained by our caller - often Baz Parkes, but also frequently other nationally known callers.

Many of the dances are traditional and some are written by other these callers [who might include Pete Coe, Martyn Harvey, Dave Hunt, or Eddie Upton] and occasionally you might meet a dance that Baz has written himself. We usually try to fit at least one dance to a song sung by Bill [who is a famous singer/songwriter], to give those who want a rest, or who came to listen, a bit of a treat.

We don't fill an evening with Western Squares, or Irish Sets, or much from the Scottish Country Dance manual (though we might squeeze in a Dashing White Sergeant).
