Softly Good Tummas Nathaniel Kynaston 1718? Recording: Video: There are many videos for this dance on the Lambertsville ECD video list, but this one shows how precise set alignment avoids jerky and frantic dancing. This dance is one of the OED favourites. Hard to believe it is over 300 years old now.

English Dance Instructions This is the index page for English / Playford dance instructions. NOTICES Call for Callers Are you willing to call dances? Even occasionally. Our club is currently woefully weak on available callers. It would be good if one of us was sick or otherwise unavailable, two or three of the dancers could manage to call some dances. Hopefully we'll build up our club capabilities.
