Friday Flourish: Allemande Flourishes

12/23/2011

This week's flourishes (which are now fully uploaded after an unfortunate false start! Sorry about that! -CS 12/24/11) are a few simple variants on an allemande. It may seem like a fairly simple move, but there is room for some embellishments if you want.

You, too, could have your flourishes featured! Contact me!

Happy Friday,

CS

i think you should b more aware of your posture if you are going to teach allemandes or any dance move. it seems you (boy) r leaning back too much and losing (taking yourself out of plumb) your, and her, axis. that 'weight' (resitance) you speak of is not leaning back, but I think you know that......

Thanks for the constructive criticism, I'll pass it along to Steve (the guy in the videos) and watch for it in my own dancing, too.

Updates happen on every other Monday & every Wednesday.

So goes the plan, anyway....

Friday Flourishes are on indefinite hiatus as of April 2013, but our previous 100+ videos can still be found on YouTube. Feel free to send more our way, though -- we will still post these sporadically as our schedules permit.

I dance with abandon. I play with glowsticks. I look for music that is conducive to one or both. I play behind cameras. I write about all of the above. I'm based in Glen Echo's contra dance community outside of Washington, D.C., but I'm happy to go dance gypsy when I can. Lather, rinse, repeat. Always repeat.
