Spring 2004

From the President Nfidwinter cold ice snow brrrr So how do

we comfort ourselves and each other during this miserable season Of course-we go to a dance

We meet our regular friends renew friendships with visiting out~of-towners and enjoy that special intimacy that comes not just from conversation but from holding each other in the relatively safe situashytion of dancing

Over the years Ive occasionally referred in jest to the high holy places of the world of traditional dance-first in my mind are Pinewoods Camp and the Concord Scout House but there are many othshyers I had the recent pleasure of meeting the wondershyful group of people who attend the Christmas Country Dance School at Berea College in Kentucky I realize that in our increasingly secular world this is more than a jest these places do fulfil the communal functions that the churches and temples used to do in the more homogeneous less fragmented cultures of the past

These are places where magic happens where we celebrate the big events where joy is shared and where friendship is communicated and consolidated I imagine that many who read this column have speshycial memories of events in their lives that took place say at NEFFA or Ogontz or wherever When pershysonal magical events become associated with a parshyticular place that place acquires a particular feeling a special understanding there is a special personal reshyspect for the place and its history arising out of our own memories of the place and our understanding that many others share a similar respect

The Concord Scout House has hosted so many extraordinary events public (dances of many differshyent kinds) or private (perhaps a party to celebrate an important anniversary or a wedding) Thus it has ac~ quired a very special place in the hearts of dancers in Eastern Massachusetts and elsewhere ~hat greater

NEDC Spring Highlights (and some recent news)

The New England Dance Committees 5th Saturday of January Style-ish Contra Dance led by Lisa Greenleaf with the Groovemongers was very well attended Examples of well-connected and safe-while still fun--contra dancing techshyniques were humorously and ably demonstrated and the evening offered much for the experienced dancer as well as for the newcomer Jany exshypressed interest in attending an event like this again so well keep it in mind as we plan next years program

The Occasional Sundays Series continues to explore variety in American dance tradition not usually seen in Boston (The Singing amp Patter Squares and Swinging Contras showcasing Ralph Sweets favorite dances was in February) Well

Inserted into the newsletter along with the usual dance event flyers is a letter from the Board of the Concord Scout House appealing for your assisshytance to fund the buildings operations and longershyterm maintenance It is rare for CDS-Boston to lend its name to an appeal from another organization but in this case the Board feels that we are richer for having this building in our lives and that it therefore deserves our support both from the organization and from the individuals who comprise it Its a holy place It matters that we care

Summer 2004

From the President Im listening to the news on the radio and as

usual in recent years theres another genocide more bombs AIDS continues its rampage and little attenshytion is paid to the state of our planet Like everyone I know I despair at times and wonder what we are coming to

Then I remember that our times have in many ways been the best there have ever been for human beings Weve seen a period of relative peace over several decades and at least in the West to a reshymarkable extent weve lived without starvation or disease-we personally have litde cause to complain at how history has treated us For most people life has been harder than our lives are in ways we can barely understand If we listen carefully to those with long memories we can learn about different times and different places

In traditional societies stories and histories are one and the same traditional stories give us a memshyory of times long gone Who would have thought we could know the emotions and thoughts of an angry soldier from more than three thousand years ago -but Homer tells a story of Achilles and Hector which glows a brightly today as ever Even more than two thousand years ago it is said that as he passed the site of Troy already mythical Alexander the Great was moved to pay homage to Achilles (and characteristically as if by right armed himself with Achilles arms which had been preserved for a milshylennium) Again academia was amazed when Knosshysos was excavated to discover that the stories of Theseus and the Minotaur had at least some real truth behind them displayed in the frescoes of the bull-leapers

I am astonished by the extraordinary reach of memory each time I learn of another human conshynection across huge gulfs of time I first became aware of the reach of time as a child when I knew a

English dance series this summer After some hot sweaty nights at PACC in recent years the summer series will beat the heat by moving to SpringSteps air conditioned Large Hall in Medford Since most peoshyple have more time to dance in the summer and with the hot weather no longer a problem we are expanding the series to eight weeks starting ~uly 7 andcontinuing though August 25 All dances will beshygin at 8 PM and end at 11

Helene Cornelius has done a great job in reshycruiting an exciting list of leaders including stars from out of town some local favorites and a new local debut All dances will follow a party format so that dances will be walked through with less time spent on style points than at regular Wednesday classes The series starts July 7 with Cammy Kaynor

Larry Jennings To Be Given Award The Country Dance and Song Society will presshy

ent its Lifetime Contribution Award to Boston dance leader Larry Jennings at a Cambridge dance on Thursday May 27

Larry Jennings is being honored for his many accomplishments in the field of contra dancing A dancer and caller at various points in his life he is known for the national influence he has had through his writings a series of discussion sessions attended by callers and organizers and his individualized crishytiques of dance callers

Originator of the phrase zesty contras Larry promulgated a style of contra dancing featuring strong connections among dancers meticulous phrasing vigorous swings and smooth transitions

very old lady whose memory of her own childhood included listening to Brahms and some of his friends play some of the lost string quartets (later destroyed because of his dissatisfaction) The living sound was still there in a sense two generations later

Who knows what memories are embedded in our own traditions Nursery rhymes often contain remnants of scurrilous political scandals For examshyple the tune Iilliburlero has cruelly satirical words in pseudo-Irish remembering a part of the struggle for dominance in England between the Catholics and the Protestants The chorus may originally be a garshybled version of an Irish cry of victory the lily was clear the day was ours referring probably to the French Fleur de Lys

In remoter memory the lily frequently refers to a pagan goddess No doubt Abbotts Bromley Hom Dance is some kind of echo from our long-distant hunter-gatherer past-in the next county archaeoloshygists found head-gear rigged to carry antlers with a carbon-14 dating of 10000 years ago Thats about as old as that venerable social institution the village

So why do these things come to mind as I listen to the news today We dance together-and our dance is something that cannot be done except in community By itself it teaches us about cooperation and helps us to see past simple individualism It also places us in a culture which has endured through times much harder than our own in a connection that can be both truly personal and on the grand scale of history

A small example I learned some decades ago that if women had not danced the Morris through the 1914-18 World Var Morris dance would have died with the men in the fields of Flanders Why did they do it What significance did they attach to their actions I would guess that it would have just felt wrong-as if the crops might fail if the dance failed Perhaps the truth is just the opposite it would take something far worse than a crop-failure to stop us from dancing

If we no longer danced it would say that we no longer have those particular connections across the centuries that we have forgotten our understandings of those people in other times and places As we dance we keep our community rooted together It keeps us in touch with each other and through hisshytorical memory~ with times that were terrible We can hope that dancing keeps us human

this will be his first time leading a whole dance for us Cammy led a dance during last years open mike and has led various area English dances

The series continues with Robin I-Iayden David Millstone Barbara Finney Jenny Beer from Philashydelphia Gene Murrow Brad Foster and Tom Roby Many of us have seen Jenny at NEFFA and other venues this will be her Boston debut Tom danced with us in the 80s but now hails from California Its a pleasure welcoming him back

As this goes to press the list of musicians is not final but includes strong representation from Bare Necessities as well as some talented but less familiar faces including Darren Douglas Andrea Larsen Lydia levens and Roberta Sutter

Because SpringStep is located next to Interstate 93 a whole new group of people are within easy driving distance of the dance and we hope to attract many dancers new to our summer series from the North Shore and New Hampshire Please help us get the word out to your friends about our exshypanded program and new location

from one figure to another This style of energetic contra dancing has spread around the country in the past two decades modeled in part on the series that Larry helped shape the Cambridge VFW dance sponsored by the New England Folk Festival Assoshyciation (NEFFA)

Larry will be presented with his award at a NEFFA Night at the VFW a regular event that features several different callers Because Larry has had a great impact on callers throughout New Engshyland and the United States this particular evening seemed an appropriate time and place CDSS Exshyecutive and Artistic Director Brad Foster will present the award accompanied by several members of the organizations Board Information about the Thursshyday Night dance series can be found at wwwneffa orgThurshtml

Larry Jennings Contdfrompage 2

an enthusiastic contra and square dancer The publicashytion in 1983 of his first book Zesty Contras marked a turning point in contemporary contra dancing Larry collected 500 dances and introduced them with what he termed a provocative explanatory text a series of 14 mini-lectures examining various aspects of contra choshyreography organization music and instruction Callers who turned to the book as a handy compendium of dances also found themselves reading a series of essays that touched on virtually all aspects of this form of soshycial dance You may not have always agreed with Larry said one New England caller but his strong opinions forced you to examine your own ideas and to think more clearly about what you were doing

Along with fellow Boston area callers Ted Sannella and Dan Pearl Larry co-authored a Contra Connecshytion column in the CDSS News from 1988 through

Fall 2004

From the President The summer is almost over the stormy season

is almost upon us and we must get back to serious work This year the dog-days of summer arent producing the stifling heat that I associate with the name but the name is still appropriate Sirius the dog-star is visible again It reminds me that no matshyter how much things change we can depend on some realities to be constant

Or can we The stars are not likely to change their courses in response to what we do but there are certainly some world events which do cause changes The Olympic games seem more meaningful to me this year because they demand a peaceful apshyproach to international competition just as they did two and a half millennia ago a reminder strengthshyened all the more by their present location in Athens Does anything we do we ordinary folks matter on the global scale

We dance-for fun How could that be imporshytant Nod-or so I used to think-but as I watch the beauty and focus of the athletes I become aware that I share their wish to move with precision and timing to achieve (in my own small way) a moment of beauty with my co-dancers I like to believe that this kind of sharing matters we learn that there are things we cannot do alone but which are indeed within reach ifwe move together with a common intent

Too often we are stuck in our isolated livingshyrooms watching the television or surfing the web alone passively absorbing whatever the giant corposhyrations choose to feed to us When we dance we are necessarily active and cooperating In Boston at least but in many other places too the dance-world is international-not just in the cultures represented but in the people who come to dance We literally rub shoulders with people from other nations Does this matter

ECD Fall Season Begins This fall the English Country Dance season beshy

gins Wednesday September 8 at the Park Avenue Church in Arlington Heights Prices will be going up for the Wednesday and First Friday series to $9 for non-members $7 for members and $4 for students and beginners Last season the series deficit was over $5000 and in June the Centres Board of Directors insisted on the raise in ticket prices

There is a way to beat the increase For the first time we are offering a Fall Season ticket for $120 This admits you to all of our Wednesday and First Friday dances through the end of December Since we have 20 dances during the Fall the per dance price is still $6 (The Season ticket also gives you a way of supporting our dances even if you cant make it to all of them)

We will continue the mix of party dances and Wednesday classes that we have been using in recent years Our first party dance on October 6 is a celeshybration of the latest CD released by Bare Necessities

New England Dance at the Concord Scout House

The New England Dance Committee begins its Concord Scout House season with the First Friday Experienced Contra Dance showcase for outstandshying musicians and callers The Friday before Labor Day September 3 features Wild Asparagus with guest percussionist Mark Hellenberg and George Marshall calling On October 1 Sue Rosen calls as Nightingale celebrates the release of their longshyawaited recording November 5 well have the sweet sound and youthful vigor of fiddler Naomi Morse her friends in Crazy Quilt (see flyers for the caller)

New England Dance Contd on page 2

From the President Contdfrom page 1

Every so often our political institutions are reshyquired to ask our opinions and we may each contribshyute a small voice to the national debate If we only stay at home and watch the television our voice is likely to be very small indeed If on the other hand we choose to go out and do things together with our fellows we may be able to gather our voices in ways we dont even know about We will understand the value of cooperashytion the importance of making friends instead of enemies and the value of points of view which are not our own If these ideas invisibly enter our minds through our movements together through our listenshying and responding to the music then perhaps we really are contributing something to the democratic process

The Greek word demos does not refer simply to certain people the citizens who for a short while ruled themselves in Athens Rather it refers to the community the city and all its workings the manner in which its people interact and make collective decishysions Democracy is not merely a matter of counting heads It must be based on shared understandings and understood differences I think that our dancing toshygether contributes to such a foundation I hope so It matters

-Julian Cole

New England Dance Contdfrom page 1

The Occasional Sundays series aims to expand dance diversity in Boston with dance evenings of a different flavor This fall on September 19 Lisa Greenleaf will call an evening of Mostly Squares with David Langford and Peter Barnes October 10 Columbus day weekend will have new-to-Boston fidshydler Eden MacAdam-Somer accompanied by Larry Unger Dan Pearl will call a program of Contras and Squares from Overseas On November 21 Will Mentor will call an evening entitled Upside Down Eight Squares and Four Contras accompanied by Rodney Miller and Peter Barnes Next winter and spring we expect to present an EnglishContra evenshying perhaps an evening of Irish Sets and an evening with a number of triplets

Coming special events include a Halloween Dance and Costume Party on Sunday October 31

English Dance Contdfrom page 1

Gene Murrow the series producer promises that this CD will be available during Labor Day weekend

Our First Friday Experienced Dance series reshyturns on October 1 Last year we were concerned by declining attendance and there was some thought to move the date of the dance thereby ending the conshyflict with our experienced contra dance series Due to popular demand we are trying it again this year in the same time slot and the focus is on boosting atshytendance by improving the series Our staff has alshyready met once this summer looking at things we can do in this regard For sure you can expect more dancing and less talking

The Fall Favorites will be on Saturday October 30 this year The venue will be the Concord Scout House which seems to be the most popular place to dance these days

As ever we are continuing to nurture the social side of the Wednesday dance Jacqueline Schwab has volunteered to organize a dinner before the dance once a month and we are continuing to use dance angels to make the dance friendly and inviting to new dancers

Please help us by contributing to decorations and refreshments at our parties and responding to the call for all the volunteers we need to make our programs a success

-Terry Gaffney

with the Moving Violations and the cheerful and spirited calling of Chrissy Fowler The First Saturday December 4 well have caller Barb Kirchner visiting from Georgia watch for flyers for the band The Annual Holiday Craft Faire will be conducted during the day

This year the price at the door will go up one dollar for the Friday series in order to better comshypensate the outstanding performers who play in this series and to demonstrate our appreciation for them New prices are $10 nonmembers $8 members $6 young people and undergraduates The Occasional Sunday Series will continue at the old price

It is no secret to us that good and inexpensive dance halls are a precious community resource The non-profit and volunteer-run Concord Scout House continues to rely upon the individual and generous

Ralph Sizer Another Old Friend Is Gone

Many years ago when the Taylors still had the Thursday and Friday dances at the yVCA in Central Square Cambridge Ralph Sizer first started dancing with us Initially he was not easy to know a bit prickly with a short fuse when it came to his own mistakes and those of experishyenced dancers-but unfailingly helpful and kind to newcomers As we got to know him we realized what a kind and generous heart he had-and what a good sense of humor as well

He had come early to help decorate for a holiday dance one Christmas and Marianne was fussing about having left behind an ice ring she had created for the punch bowl After hearing too many Kvetches on the subject Ralph said I dont know why you cant forget about that you forgot it once already tonightI That was wisdom which has often been repeated

The cabin called Rest and Be Thankful was given to Pinewoods-anonymously as was his wont-by Ralph in Mariannes honor She was alshylowed to name it (for a Scottish dance named for a hill in Scotland)

He wrote with tongue in cheek in the Tartan Times regarding the trend toward increased comshyplication in devising new dances He himself deshyvised some delightful cottish dances they are not complex but unique and fun to do For his 50th


donations and support of dancers and others to meet the significant costs of maintaining and operating its old building CDS Boston is co-sponsoring their beneshyfit fundraiser on Friday December 3rd Wlld Asparashygus will play that evening For more information see wwwconcordscouthouseorg

birthday party he threw a big dance paid all the expenses for hall music etc and gave the donashytions from the dancers equally to Folk Arts Center Pinewoods and Boston Royal Scottish Country Dance Society

A couple years ago Marcie (Folk Arts Centers Executive Director) received a note from Ralph saying that he could no longer come from Provishydence to dances in the Boston Area his diabetes had made his eyesight too unreliable Last month when he failed to show up for his work at the American Mathematical Society his colleagues sent someone to check Ralph had died during the night of heart failure

It is always sad to hear of a death but when the person was someone with such a long history of generous support and dedication it is even more difficult Ann Mason attended the ~1emorial service and reported that his colleagues at work and the cousin who eulogized him showed the same regard and warmth in their comments Ralph was a very private person Its good to know that there were many who appreciated him He wont be forgotten by those of us who knew him well

-Marianne Tqylor

Ralph was a Scottish English and Morris dancer as well as a folkdancer

-Ann Mason

Winter 2004-2005

From the President Well we successfully got through Halloween

and even survived the horrors of another election Once again we plunge into the dark of winter Each year I am more surprised by the rapidity with which we leave the summer behind~--what snow already Those lucky enough to live among trees have piled up the leaves for recycling and we hunker down

We poke a stick in the eye of the coming winter by celebrating by feasting by dancing our way through the cold perhaps by raising a sword-lock which has sometimes felt to me like a way of saying See The sun will come back

Every tradition seems to recognize the onset of winter with a feast-perhaps this is no more than a way to avoid feeding the animals throughout the winter with that which would better feed us But all such festivities usually seem to involve dancshying-whether its that sword-lock or the kids running and dancing their way from house to house deshymanding candy with threats of trickery or Mom and Pop dancing in the kitchen while Bing dreams of a white Christmas

Ju~t a few decaes ago when agriculture kept us closely mtegrated With the seasons the coming winshyter was a time when we would need to assert our mastery in many ways We would cut trees to ensure that we had fuel to keep ourselves warm-no other creature deals with fire as anything but a terrifying enemy Other kinds of mastery were more subtle we needed to measure out our food to predict whether or not it would last through the hungry gap of the early spring We devised techniques for measuring volumes weights and times to enhance our survival skills in a marginal climate This kind of necessity vas t~y mother to smne of our most important mvenUons

Winter was the time to repair things-vessels our clothes our tools-it was a time for all those

Winter Season Tickets On Sale This Christmas give yourself and CDS a presshy

ent by buymg one of our Vinter Season Tickets Ticket prices are $120 good until the end of March 2005 It admits ticket holders to all of our winter Wednesday and First Friday dances plus our two Sunday pre-Ball workshops and our 25th Playford Ball at the Perkins School for the Blind That amounts to a saving of $27 if admission to all of these events were purchased separately

In my experience as a ticket holder besides the savings its very nice to be able to walk into a dance and not have to stop to fish in my wallet for the adshymission charge Just say hello to the door sitter and wa~ on in It also feels good knowing that I amsupshyporting our wonderful dances even if I cant make a particular night

Being able to register for the Playford Ball ~thout any additional effort is an added perk espeshyCially as the beautiful location of our Ball this year makes it likely that it will sell out early

Tickets will go on sale with the publication of thi~ n~wsletter and will continue until January 5th which is the first Wednesday of the New Year

-Terry Gtiffnry RCD Chair

Winter Dance Party Playford Ball Highlight the ECD Winter Season

This winter shake off those January blues at our Winter Party Dance on Saturday January 29 at the Concord Scout House The event features the leadshying ofJacqueline Schwab and the music of Bare Neshycessities

Every year Jacqueline and the band tour the country but this is first time that theyve done the music and leading in Boston at a weekend party

From the President Contd on page 2 Winter English Dances Contti on page 2

Thank You All Cal and Irene Howard wish to thank everyone for

their kindness and concern during and after Cals reshycent stroke Fortunately it was a mild one and hes already back to a little dancing and eventually expects to be his former self He is now driving and is again playing his several music gigs

We greatly appreciate the phone calls good wishes cards e-mails offers of help with transportashytion visits and goodies we look forward to seeing our friends on the dance floor real soon

October 28 2004


pursuits we now think of as crafts but which were as recently as a century ago the most important techshynologies most people had

From the earliest times these necessary skills have offered a playground for our mental capacities as we devised motifs and patterns for decorating our arshytefacts labour that performs no obvious function Its possible we used one form of art as a way of memoshyrizing another Robert Graves claims in The White Godshydess that certain poetic rhythms were used to remind us of the right kind of hammer-blow for forging iron and I have often wondered if the paths of movement in a dance-step might be designed to recall a particular kind of weave

In the end the function is not material the dance of the paint-strokes across a pot or of the withies in a basket or the rhythm of the words in a ballad reshycounting some oral history all of these are perhaps most importantly exercises to keep our minds fit and flexible Perhaps our intellect is itself founded in such play In the deep past during the ice age we took time and effort to create musical instruments-drums from mammoth skulls flutes from femurs What kind of music did those ancestors make How did they dance

It humbles me to think how deep is our impulse to decorate to arrange patterns for the pleasure of it I am delighted to continue this kind of play dancing with my friends-with any luck itll keep me as young and fit as it does them

--Julian Cole

Winter English Dances Contdfrom page 1

dance For years many of us have enjoyed Jacqueshylines contributions to our Wednesday party dances Im looking forward to seeing what she comes up with when she has a whole evening to work with The dance goes from 800-11 00 P11 Admission is $10 for members $12 non-members

Our Winter Party will be the same weekend as the first Pre-Playford Ball Workshop so invite outshyof-town friends to make a weekend of it The workshyshop will be from 200-500 on Sunday afternoon January 30 at Park Avenue Congregational Church Ken Allen will be playing and Barbara Finney will be leading us through the fine points of the Ball dances Admission is $6 for those registered for the Ball $9 for others The Ball program promises to be one of the nicest in recent years including a good mix of old favorites like Astoria Lass Softly Good Tummas St Margarets Hill and Punchbowl as well as interesting new dances like Crown the Year and Familiar Quotations

The second Pre-Ball Workshop takes place on Sunday February 27 at the Church of Our Savior in Brookline with Helene Cornelius leading and J acshyqueline Schwab playing Those dancers who go to the first Friday dances in Brookline know what a treat Jacquelines playing is in this intimate hall These workshops are a must for those folks who want to go to the Ball but find Wednesdays someshytimes hard to get to

The 25th Playford Ball (our Silver Ball) returns to the Perkins School for the Blind in Watertown Those who danced there in the early eighties reshymember how pretty the hall is Due to a change in policy for a long time the School decided not to rent to outside groups This year their policy changed again so were happy to return to that venue

Helene Cornelius will be 1fistress of Ceremoshynies with music provided by Bare Necessities The afternoon workshop will be led by Barbara Finney and Brad Foster with music by Karen Axelrod and Naomi 110rse Tickets for the Ball are $25 if we reshyceive your application by Jan 15 After that the price rises to $30 Winter Season Ticket holders are asshysured a place

As always dances on the evening of the Ball are talked through but not walked through so study in advance is necessary Dancers who are comfortable at our First Friday Experienced Dances or with the request periods on Wednesday shouldnt have a problem with the program

From the President Contd from page 1

pleasure than to walk up the driveway to that buildshying whose elegance has survived centuries that welshycomes all comers perhaps even with a glowing winshyter fireplace

Inserted into the newsletter along with the usual dance event flyers is a letter from the Board of the Concord Scout House appealing for your assisshytance to fund the buildings operations and longershyterm maintenance It is rare for CDS-Boston to lend its name to an appeal from another organization but in this case the Board feels that we are richer for having this building in our lives and that it therefore deserves our support both from the organization and from the individuals who comprise it Its a holy place It matters that we care

The evenings begin with gatherings which seshygue into family-friendly dances Partway through the evening children go off to bed and the figures beshycome more challenging Hired babysitters patrol the grounds so that parents can tuck in their children and return to the dance Late-night parties include more singing and dancing between the noshing and schmoozing
