Welsh

Little has been generally known about Welsh ·traditional dances as no conscious effort had been made in Wales until. about 40 years' ago to search out these old forms and :preserve them •. Steps, remnants of patterns and a few dances have to date beeri re vived and accepted' as definitely Welsh. The following Welsh dance is made up of authentic Welsh dance steps and hand positions with the :patterns being reconstructed by Welsh leaders.

Llanover Step: "Run, run, run, ho:p 11 Steps have an even count as in the schottische rhythm. Steps are all taken on the ball of the foot with each about 8 inches in front of the other foot. ,Feet are li:fted only a few inches .from the floor, even on the ho:p.

Welsh folk dances were performed in ki tch~ns where space was limited, so movements are small, gliding, g_u:ick and .d:istin:ct _..,. elbows in and free· hands down at the side.

FORMATION: Dancers stand in threes faci.ng counter-clockwise. .·Man is in center with a woman on each .side (:permissi"ble for two· men an one woman also). If an even number of men and women are :present, it is suggested that an inside circle of two men and one woman be formed. Center dancers hold outside hands of the other two dancers, who join inside hands above center dancer 1 s head. (If center dancer is very tall, hands are joined in back.)

STEPS: Introduction - Center bows to both dancers.

Measure : I. Forward and backward. l - 4 Starting right foot, take four llanover steps forward.

5 - 8 Take 3 llanover steps backward. Taking 3 stamps on eighth measure while center person moves backward under the joined hands of the two outside dancers, finishing in circle with hands crossed.

II. Step; Ho:ps in place; Circle and progress

9 -12 Starting right foot, l+ step-hops in place, low swing of free leg across supporting leg. Circle to right - 8 running steps, finishing in straight line facing counter-clockwise, ins::Lde hands joined.

All move forward with 2 lJ_anover steps - move backward 4 slow walking steps.

17-20 Center dancer moves forward to next group with 2 llanover steps and 4 slow walking steps. The two outside dancers make a little circle castoff out ward from center dancer with 2 llanover steps. Center dancers complete 4 slow walking steps with new center :person ::Ln original starting :position.

Repeat all.

This is one of a large group of communal type German group dances (the Germans D hesitate to call them folk dances) which were created by youth groups immediately after World War II largely under the leadership of Karl Lorenz. In all these dances the music is an integral :part of the whole; dance and music have been created D together.

MUSIC: Record: Folkdancer :MH 1127 Piano: Not Published D

Introduction to Serenade:

This German dance is of the same type as Black Earth Circle and has been created during the same period and under the same leadership. It is a little more intricate and designed in a three-part rondo form.

MUSIC : .Record - Folkdancer MH 1128 0 Piano - Barsbuettler Taenze. Carl Lorenz Hermann Moeck, Verlag, Celle. (Available through Gretel Dunsing, George Williams College, 5315 Drexel Avenue~ Chicago 15, Illinois)

Formation: Any number of couples i.n a circle. M facing CCW, W facing CW, R hips are adjacent to each other. Hands are joined shoulder high. R arms are extended; L arms flexed. Elbows are also shoulder high.

Steps: In part A and B there is an unbroken continuity of walking steps in the same tempo, 3 steps in each measure, in part c, walking steps, change steps, and step-close are used.

NOTE: THE DANCE IS DESIGNED IN RONDO FORM. It consists of three parts: A,B,C. These parts then are arranged in the following way: .A - B - A - C - A - B- A.

A. Measure 1 M walks fwd beginning L, W walks bwd beginning R. 2 Both turn half around CW in place without releasing the hold. L arms are extended; R arms are flexed. Now L hips are adjacent to each other. 3 M walks fwd; W walks bwd. 4 Both turn half around CCW and are back in the same position as in the beginning. 5 Again M walks fwd and W bwd. 6 - 8 Both turn 1! times around CW in place with 9 steps without changing their hold. When they finish M is facing CW, W is fadng CCW, R hips are adjacent to each other. 1 - 8 (repetition) Same as above starting in CW direction. In meas. 8 W releases her R hand from M's L and does an additional half turn CW so that both now are in open position facing CCW.

B. Measure l Both walk fwd M beginning L, W beginning R. 2 Both turn half around in place, M CW, W CCW (face to face). They are now in open position facing CW. 3 Both walk fwd. 4 Both turn half around in place, M CCW, W CW (face to face). Both again face CCW. 5 Both walk sdwd, M L toward the center of the circle and W R toward the outside. While doing this they turn slightly away (q_uarter turn) but kee~ looking at each other. 6 They walk toward each other. 7 - 8 They join hands and circle once CW around, in place. In transit to the repetition W releases her R hand from M1 s L and does an additiona~ half turn CW so that both are again in open position facing CCW. l - 8 (repetition) Same as above. In transit to part A keep both hands joined and take starting formation.

HAPPY FEET, 1959-03 Page 57 Northland Recreation Laboratory, Minneapolis, Minnesota SERENADE ( cont)

NarE: This part can be done with partner change. In meas . 6 W does not return to her partner but moves fwd. -:CCW to next dancer. This change could be done either once (at the end of the repetition) or twice (each time at meas. 6) c. Measure l .~ 5 In o~en position, inner hands lifted fwd upward shoulder high, both dance 5 change steps fwd beginning on outer feet. 6 On counts l and 2 both do a step-close fwd on the inner foot. On count 3 the weight transfers even further fwd and onto the ball of the outer foot while the joined hands are led further upward. 7 - 8 Both swing the inner arms dmm and back - release the hold and each one follows the swing of this arm - and walk a complete circle with 6 steps. M CW and WCCW. In meas. 8 the other arms, M1 s Land W's R, meet as the turn. is completed and are lifted fwd upward shoulder high. Both finish facing CW. l - 8 (repetition) Same as above, counter-part. In Meas. 7-8 W turns a little faster so that she completes two turns. This brings both into starting formation. 9 l step-close, M L fwd and W R bwd.

~arE: This part should be danced in a restrained manner. The turns and the arm swings beginning with meas. 6 should be an organic follow-thru of the body swing and guided by the music.

ENDING: As A is repeated the last measures are danced in the following way:

6 - 7 Both turn only 3/4 times around CW with 6 steps. In meas. 7 M releases his R hand from W's L hand and does an additional half turn CW. She is now on his L side, they are both facing the center of the circle and all join hands in the circle. 8 On counts one and two all step-close :fwd M R and W L.

The music is written in 2/4 time, 4 eights to a measure.

Measure l Toes of L foot point in such a way that the L foot is at right ct. l angles to the R foot (:L toes close to R instep). Now point toes of L foot outward in such a way that the heel is at right and angles with the R foot (close to instep)

The left heel is placed i.n such a way that the toes point fwd, ct, 2 parallel to the other foot. and Toes of the L foot touch f·wd - foot is parallel to the right foot.

We are describing the N.S. LEF"r ONLY. Start left when going to the left - Start right when going to the right and alternate, NGrE: The second half of the N.S. (2nd meas.) is danced in the same style as the first. This means that the bounce as in the hop - is still present. Moreover the "rest" is not always a 11 rest 11 ; it depends on what follows. If the move ment is not finished or if it leads immediately into the next the "rest" becomes a preparatory bounce for the next step.
