SUMMARY:Cajun / Zydeco Dances
DESCRIPTION:Great live music from Planet Zydeco!   \n\n\n\nGreat fun–and no partner needed!Last dance for the 2024-2025 season \n\n\n\nLesson at 7:00 – Dance from 7:30-10:30\n\n\n\n\nWhat is the difference between Cajun and Zydeco???     \nZydeco and Cajun dancing follow similar rhythms\, born in the Bayou of Louisiana\, and notably feature an accordion and often a fiddle (or two)\, generally with a rhythm guitar and a bass guitar (or stand-up bass). Stationary dances like Zydeco (or swing dancing) are generally done in the center of the dance floor to allow traveling dances\, such as a Cajun two-step\, to be done around the outside oval of the floor. \n\n\n\nZydeco Revelators\n\n\n\nZydeco music generally includes the distinctive sound of a rub board\, or “frattoire” as it is called in French\, and usually there is also a drummer keeping a lively beat. Zydeco dancing tends to be more energetic\, with dancers tending to stay in one location while they dance.  The gentle percussive beat of the triangle\, or “p’tit fer” as it is known in French\, or just the bass\, often keeps the beat in Cajun music. Cajun music tends to tell a story\, with gentler dancing that travels around the perimeter of the dance floor\, such as waltzes and two-steps. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe lesson at the beginning of the dance covers the traditional Cajun dances: the Cajun Waltz\, One-Step\, and Two-Step.  All of these are traveling “Carousel” dances. The dancers create the “Carousel” by all the couples working together traveling around the floor in a counter clockwise direction.  See these guidelines for Cajun dancing. \n\n\n\nThere are no Covid restrictions\, but we ask that folks stay home if they are not feeling well or have been exposed recently.  \n\n\n\nThe line-up for the 2024-2025 Season (click on image to download flyer): \n\n\n\nMar 22  Zydeco Revelators  \n\n\n\nApr 26  Planet Zydeco
