45-50 minute sessions Evening family dance with students and their parents can be held in cafeteria or gym and usually refreshments are served at the end. Kitchen Junket A house dance held in private home. Traditionally the kitchen was the largest room in old New England farm houses so that is where the dancing was done. Even with bigger spaces available, people prefer the intimacy, control over who attends, and no rent, police or insurance to deal with. The dances are such that no experience is needed.
Wood floors are best.
No carpets or rugs. Rooms 8x12 will accommodate 4-5 couples. Invite 2-3 times as many people that would fill the room because all don't dance the whole time, people take turns. Two Fiddles have toured as far as Hawaii and Alaska, playing jigs, reels, and hornpipes in the form of Traditional New England Dancing. Special desserts served later in the evening.
