Hard Times. A Pat Shaw dance

This very original choreography was composed by the English choreographer, caller, researcher and musician Pat Shaw (1917-1977). It was published in his collection of dances "New Wine in Old Bottles";initially the dance was set on a music from the 17th century and it has been recorded by the Dutch band "Triple Time" on their last but one album "Pat Shaw and more". I did not like it so I switched to this very beautiful Haendel Tune. Watch the video till the end for details on the band and CD. Pat Shaw wanted the dance to be performed with minuet steps although not many dancers could have used them at the time when he was writing the dance. Pat was a good dancer and would have known how to dance a minuet step though his very thorough research ont the background of Country dance. We have not used minuet on the video but we will and we will make a video of it hopefully !
