London Barndance: January 2021 virtual dance

Rhi Davies and Sioned Davies with Audrey Knuth, Max Newman and guests

It's a trans-Atlantic collaboration this month!

Videos

You will find videos with the music and call for all the dances on the LBC January 2021 playlist on YouTube.

Music

We have the dots for most of the tunes so that musicians can play along at home. Audrey and Max have provided these:

Atherstone, Dick Gossip's, and Siobhan O'Donnell's are played as one set.

The last waltz was be Spyglass. Thomas has kindly typeset the arrangement that he, Ali, and Leddy will play:

Several of the tunes are by Rodney Miller and he has just published a new book with 270 tunes! You can buy a copy of The Rodney Miller Collection of Original Fiddle Tunes direct from Rodney's store, and get a code to access some bonus play-along tracks online.

Video Project

The video project for January was Levi Jackson Rag. We danced Lynne Render's version which has been adapted for dancing alone or with just one couple. Vic Smith created a suitably wacky version of the music for us when Lynne called the dance in October.

We received video clips from 37 people, and the final result is now available: Levi Jackson Locked Down - danced at a distance in England, Canada, and the USA
