who are prepared to model their clothing.

·         Enthusiastic discussion of other things that could be done on the
list field during times between bouts.  *Dancing by whoever is available to
simple instrument like a flute, recorder or penny whistle seems to be worth
planning.*

o   Kay realizes this morning that Concern about having people to teach the
audience to dance could perhaps be solved by only doing ring dances or
other very simple partner dances.  A person confident enough to dance a
*bransle* can guide one other person hand in hand.

o   *Could we agree on a goal of getting people out on the field and
moving, to have a physical experience? *Lets discuss!
