We meet again for dance. It is our hope as a canton that we will bring refinement and grace back to our fair province. We will recap two 15th century Italian dances: Petit Rose and Amoroso, and then proceed to another 15th century Italian dance, Anello.
We will meet at 6 pm and continue until about 8. If you are joining us after 6, please confirm that we are still meeting.
The location is weather pending, and this page will be updated day-of with a call. We will also update the discord.
If the weather is foul: we will meet at Þorfinn’s home: 165 W 66th Street #4E, New York, NY 10023. Tell the doorman you’re visiting Alec. (The building as a whole is wheelchair-accessible, but the bathroom is not).
In case of foul weather, we will decide as a group either to dance something that fits within a small living room, or work on whatever crafts folks bring.
All are welcome to join us. No Society membership or previous experience required. No fee. Modern attire; come as you are. We look forward to seeing you! RSVP to 143578@members.eastkingdom.org would be helpful so we do not start dance instruction without you.
After a several year hiatus, dance is back in Appleholm, with the intent that we will bring refinement and grace back to our fair province. What dance we teach is yet undetermined: reach out if you have strong opinions. Current bets are on 15th century Italian.

Taci e Balla, shut up and dance! Please join us in rehearsing our steps as we anticipate the spring ball season. As with traditional country dances of 15th C England, we begin with bransles: double, single, Cassandre & Pinagay. If you can step to your left and to your right, and sometimes do a little kick in the air, you are ready to rumba! Er, I mean bransle! (Pronounced brawl, and can indeed become quite lively.)

Join the NYC chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism for our weekly outdoor practice, held on Tuesdays (weather permitting) in McCarren Park.
Do you want to learn to fight like the knights of the middle ages? Our Armored Combat practice is a full contact sport. We fight with heavy wooden weapons made from rattan and wear metal and leather armor for protection.
Do you want to learn fine control of the blade like the duelists of the Renaissance? Our Historical Fencing practice is a limited-contact sport. We fight with light metal swords and wear protective gear and fencing masks to keep each other safe.
Do you want to dance and sing like the bards and entertainers of yore? Regale our group with a story or learn one of the simple dances or choral numbers that people enjoyed five hundred years ago.
If you are joining us in McCarren park, please bring proof of your COVID vaccination or a negative test result from the last 72 hours, as well as a valid photo ID. And don’t forget your mask!
