event details (specifically dance-related details), and a link to an event

<P>Rencester's Celebration of Spring is going to have the dancing right after
the fighting, before feast (though there'll be musical entertainment during
feast as well -- some guy who calls himself the Rencester Minstrel is wont to
stroll among the tables and play period music leaning rather heavily on the
works of John Dowland...). Haven't heard of that dancing/feast format
being tried before but we'll let everyone know how it works....</P>

Dance Crusade...that sounds like a jolly idea!!</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=720533213-08022006>So would that be an event or a philosophy?

<DIV><SPAN class=720533213-08022006>Here's something related to dancing at
events that I wanted to throw out there. Anyone who's been to one of the
past few Isenfir events will have seen this, and maybe others are doing it,
too, but we've had great success with it so I wanted to mention it. To
help mitigate the problem of dancing getting cut short after feast, we've
begun setting up the feast area with the tables around the outside, leaving
the center section open. During the often unavoidable delay between
courses, we haul out the musicians and have dancing! It helps break
up the interminable dead time between courses, keeps everyone happy cuz
they're not just twiddling their thumbs, and we get in more dancing!
Obviously this wouldn't work for really big events, but for smaller ones it's
worked great.</SPAN></DIV>
