at Good Yule

Canton of Porte de l'Eau
Bellevue, WA
The Canton of Porte de l'Eau will be hosting a Day of Dance on December 7 in Bellevue as part of our Good Yule event.
Your day as a dancer will be spent learning and practicing a variety of dances, drawn from a variety of period sources. Some will be familiar friends of our local dance community; others will be taught for the first time at Day of Dance this year. Our program for 2024 is designed to be accessible to new and beginning dancers, so this is a great time to try out dancing!
Dance instruction runs from at 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM. After a Baronial court and a potluck feast, there will be a ball at around 6 PM with live music. The event is free but donations are welcome. An attempt at period costume is required.
Handouts with quick descriptions of the dances will be provided at the event. You can also download a PDF of the event handout.
If you'd like more detailed descriptions of the dances, including how the steps align with the structure of the music and with the text in the original source, you can download a PDF of a booklet with tabulations of the dances.
