The Butterfly - FREE download
I have taught this dance many times, and it has been hugely popular, and recently uploaded the manuscript as support material. The butterfly is a popular session tune, a 3 part slip jig, 9/8 rhythm.
I received the steps that were written to this tune from Maria Monakova at an online workshop; the dance is relatively new choreography written in the traditional style.
Read more about Maria here - 😊
When I perform this dance, I usually repeat all 3 steps, ie twice through the tune / twice through the dance. The beauty of this tradition is that the dances, old and new, continue to be passed from one dancer to another, and from one generation to the next.
Watch me dance it here, if you read the description you will see why I swapped the order of the parts.
This dance is available as a home study course, click here for more info.
Summary - you will receive an PDF file of the slip jig, one A4 page of manuscript, if this page size doesn't work for you, drop me a line.
