Grand Square - Birgits Danse

Dances by Birgit Rasmussen

Dances written by Birgit Rasmussen, our first caller and honorary member, will be published here, and she invites you to read and use her dances. She has formulated this introduction to her off-spins:

Prompted by my husband I have decided to publish some of the dances which I composed for my dancers over the years. Since I started calling traditional squares and contras in 1990 I have given each dancer who "rounded a corner" a dance, complete with calls, graphical description and choice of music. This happened when they turned 50, 60, 70 and 75, or had been happily married for 25 or 50 years.

My dances were mostly written when I needed special figures in my teaching which I could not find in existing dances in any of the books at my disposal. I may inadvertently have made a dance very similar or even identical to what someone else has done. If so, I apologize, and ask the author kindly to inform me and supply details. birgit@grandsquare.dk

My hope is that other callers may find it interesting to try some of the dances once in a while.

The idea of using the web for publishing is not new. When the WorldWideWeb and the HTML language became available in the 'nineties I wrote homepages for my husband but stopped many years ago.

By the way, I have a homepage. There you will find a bit more about folkdance and a couple of photos. http://brkjr.dk/br/
