<p>Corrected the category</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>A very popular [[dance]] style in the SCA. Many of the dances done in the SCA come from John Playford&#039;s English Dance Master which was published in 16-something, and thus one of the most frequently used [[out-of-period|out of period]] [[source]]s. <br /> <br /> <br /> There are just a few basic forms of English Country Dances: <br /> # &quot;USA&quot; Dances (Up and back, Siding, Arming)<br /> # Circle Dances<br /> # Dances in a square<br /> # Progressional Dances (Almost all of this type of dance are very much [[out-of-period|out of period]].) <br /> <br /> <br /> Some popular English Country Dances: <br /> * [[Jenny Pluck Pears]] (circle)<br /> * [[Gathering Peascods]] (circle)<br /> * [[Grimstock]] (or Dove&#039;s Figary) (USA)<br /> * [[Black Nag]] (USA)<br /> * [[Heart&#039;s Ease]] (Square)<br /> * [[Ruffty Tuffty]] (Square)<br /> <br /> <br /> =Dance Steps=<br /> <br /> Most English country dances follow a set pattern of steps interspersed with inventive choruses. In the USA style the formula is: Linear movement (Up a double and back), Chorus, Siding, Chorus, Arming, Chorus. <br /> <br /> The chorus varies from dance to dance; sometimes the chorus is the same each time and sometimes it differs. The Hay step frequently appears in the chorus. <br /> <br /> * Set and Turn<br /> * Siding<br /> * Arming<br /> * Hay<br /> ** Circular Hay<br /> ** Handed Hay<br /> ** Mirror Hay<br /> ** Sheep-shank Hay<br /> <br /> [[Category:Dances]]</div>
