[SCA-Dance] SCA Created Dances

[Michael L. Squires]

When I left Mynydd Seren in 1984 I don't remember doing palming; it
was part of the dance when I returned in 1990, at least among some
dancers.  The source is obviously the Manschafte, which was still
being danced at the time.  I know I started inserting reverences
into some of the passages because the music left too much empty
space after the steps were completed; this happened before 1984.

The local custom in our "home" colonial dance group in North Carolina was to step in one step, pivoting to come side-by-side as a couple (facing away from the set) before casting, mostly to use up time.  I admit I have never seen palming with this dance, neither in colonial or SCA settings...so I'm curious in what areas that has become the tradition.
