I presume it wandered in from non-SCA ECD, but am wondering if anyone has info on whose reconstruction it is, and upon which source it is actually based on. In case there are variations, the version I've always seen is: Up a dbl + back x2. Cast off to bottom + back up. Dip + dive. Cpl 1 arm R with own, arm left with other down the set. Start over with cpl 2 leading.

The SCA version you note appears in both his books. He writes: "By 1564 [....] Trenchmore was already a well-known dance. Surprisingly, its directions were not published until 1721." This is obviously untrue. I checked up to the 1709 edition (the latest I have access to) and the dance still has the setting and arming figures in the second part. Does anyone have access to the 1721 edition to check what it says? --Perronnelle On Mon, May 6, 2013 at 10:35 AM, wrote: > Unto SCAdance, greetings from Rosina, > > I'm familiar with the 1653 version of Trenchmore, but have always seen > Trenchmore done rather differently in the SCA.

I am Deonna von Aachen, long time musician and dancer I also happen to be the event steward for the Knowne World Dance and music Symposium happening in just 4 weeks time. Not only will we have several tracks of dance classes on Friday and Saturday, as well as dancing on Sunday, There are 2 tracks of classes for musicians, each day, opportunities to play for dance classes, open class time for jamming, master classes to attend with John Tyson and Renaissonics of Boston as well as the usual opportunities to dance or play for the balls. Open dancing on Thursday night will start things off from 6:30-11 Classes on Friday and Saturday run from 9-4:30 with dayboards each day. Final ball is Sunday afternoon. Lots of familiar stuff, lots of new stuff, contests, comedia performance, JUNE 1 IS SATURDAY - YIKES The time to register for the event is now which you can do through ACCEPS, or by post. IF you are not from the US, and do not have a US bank , you may pre-register via e-mail, containing pertinent information (names, memb # etcl) to me or Sheldon through the website. Funds will be collected at gate. There is a significant discount if you do so by June 1. Of course the big issue is housing in Saratoga Springs but I do have affordable space available that I need to fill. Let me know ASAP Note that gate on Thursday night is at the school on Hamilton street. Gate on Fri and Sat is at UPH. See the website for addresses and directions We are updating the website constantly and the actual class schedule should be up very soon. See http://kwdms.org for all the details.
