SUMMARY:Cajun / Zydeco Dances
DESCRIPTION:Great live music from Les Taiauts Cajun Band!   \n\n\n\nGreat fun–and no partner needed! \n\n\n\nLesson at 7:00 – Dance from 7:30-10:30\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\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 2025-2026 Season (click on image to download flyer):October 25 – ZydegrooveNovember 22 – Red Aces Cajun BandDecember – No danceJanuary 24 -Zydeco RevelatorsFebruary 28 –  Catahoula Cajun BandMarch 28 – Les Taiauts Cajun BandApril 25 – Planet Zydeco \n\n\n\n\n\n \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.

SUMMARY:Cajun / Zydeco Dances
DESCRIPTION:Great live music from Catahoula Cajun Band!  \n\n\n\nGreat fun–and no partner needed! \n\n\n\nLesson at 7:00 – Dance from 7:30-10:30\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\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 2025-2026 Season (click on image to download flyer):October 25 – ZydegrooveNovember 22 – Red Aces Cajun BandDecember – No danceJanuary 24 -Zydeco RevelatorsFebruary 28 –  Catahoula Cajun BandMarch 28 – Les Taiauts Cajun BandApril 25 – Planet Zydeco \n\n\n\n\n\n \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.

DESCRIPTION:Most Fridays 7:30-10:00Occasional “Daylight Dances” on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.  Check calendar or FB. \nScotia United Methodist Church\, 201 N Ten Broeck St\, Scotia\, NY 12302 \nInternational Folk Dancing includes the traditional dances of many countries and cultures done to authentic music in a variety of formations (long and short lines\, circles\, broken circles\, and a few duos\, trios\, and individual). Our group is particularly fond of dances from the Balkan countries (Bulgaria\, Macedonia\, Albania\, Croatia and Serbia)\, Romania\, Greece\, Turkey\, Armenia\, Israel\, Brittany\, French Canada and other countries. We mostly dance to recorded music but have live music events a few times a year. \nWe welcome all ages and genders\, and no partner is necessary\, as most dances do not involve couples. We welcome beginners and children who are interested in dancing. We encourage those to come early in the evening when instruction is emphasized and tailored to newer dancers. Typically\, the level of difficulty increases as the evening progresses\, and we move on to dances requested by the group. \nComfortable clothing and clean\, soft-soled shoes are recommended. \nParking is free\, and we enter the building from the door nearest the parking lot. We ask a donation of $8\, as you are able. \nQuestions? Want to be added to (or deleted from) our email list?  Contact Barb or Bob at (518) 452-1154\, or email Barb at macleanbarb@aol.com.
