Gary Roodman Dances

Gary Roodman is a statistician who lives in New England and composes English style country dances. Unlike most dance composers he chooses a tune that he likes first and then writes a dance to fit. These tunes are an eclectic mix of folk, classical, jazz and other genres. Like all the best dances they flow from one figure to the next seamlessly. Some are quite intricate and not for the faint hearted, although most are relatively accessible to anyone with a modicum of experience in folk dancing, especially Playford style.

This workshop is probably not for the absolute beginner but no-one will be turned away, (providing there is enough room,) and Burt will do his level best to guide you through these very enjoyable dances.
