Caller
Having been a dancer all her life,
Victoria Yeomans calls at weekends, festivals and Saturday night dances. Victoria brings a varied repertoire
from across the common genres from Playford to American contras and squares, including several of her own compositions. She enjoys teaching
workshops on a variety of themes and is generally doing a mixed programme for an evening dance. She loves to inspire dancers to dance better and make the music visible.
After many years as a hard-core contra dancer who resisted English country dance—"What? No swings?"—David saw the light at
English-American Week at Pinewoods in 1987, and he has been calling English dances regularly since 1993. He is drawn to the rich
variety of moods and music that English dance offers, from elegant to zesty, with longways and set dances offering interesting
and unusual dance choreography.
Dancers report that Victoria's calling is clear, concise, and good humoured!
During the weekend, the dancers will be musically pampered by
Triple Time, three outstanding Dutch musicians:
Kees Mook
(violin),
Wil van den Berg (accordion) and
Marieke Van Leersum (recorders), who have already played several times at
AADS workshops.
