academie: ME Dancing - We need a decision....

[Edvard Gayer]

Allrighty, then.

Might I suggest that at Winterversity, we teach a short line of Eurpoean 
dance, and encourage a longer line of ME dance?  Based on previous 
commentary, its apparent that we need at least a little of both for those 
folks who can only come to this one event.  Since the Symposium will be 
focused on European dance, we can provide a forum for ME dance by focusing 
on that at Winterversity.

I was discussing this topic a few weeks ago with Lord Istvan Dragosani 
(Roxbury Mill's Seneschal, and the gentle who helped me coordinate ME 
dancing at Coronation for Amalric and Caia).  Unless there's objection, I 
will go ahead and contact him this week and get the wheels turning.

Regarding the European mini-line at Winterversity, I was hoping to teach an 
Intermediate Italian class.  The Beginning class at Octoberversity was very 
well-received, and those in attendance left me with the impression that they 
want more Italian stuff.  With the Symposium being only 2 weeks after 
Winterversity, could we take this opportunity to teach something different?  
I was thinking about two Italian classes (Beginning and an Intermediate), 
plus one other not-often-taught class.  Thoughts?  Suggestions?

After much thought and consideration (and with no small amount of 
reluctance), I
have gone ahead and decided to leave out ME at the Symposium, due mostly to
concerns about the size of the site.  I'm afraid the ME interest (of which 
there
is a lot) might overwhelm it, while I think the European dance interest will 
fit
nicely.  It will mean a smaller event, which isn't ideal, but if my size
concerns turn out to be unfounded and if we use this site again some other 
time,
we can include ME.

So, that said... Perhaps we should sponsor an all-ME event a little later in 
the
year.  As it's something I know little about from a practical standpoint, 
others
can speak to it better than me, but it's a thought.

Now, let's start prepping all-out for the Symposium, in a pure European 
theme
this time around.
