You’ve seen the images of spinners of all classes at work: a stick with a football of growing yarn, and a bigger stick with fibre of some sort. Managing Medieval Spindles covers developing the skill to use hookless spindles in=hand and supported, and recognizing the style of spindle that is suited to the form. If all goes well, we will also work with a distaff of wool to enhance the speed of yarn creation. Come and spin a yarn!

9 AM Raqs Helwa: Sweeten Your Belly Dance
Covered Picnic Area 2 Hours $1.00
Halima al-Rakkasa Open to Youth, Teens & Adults (9 and older)
Dance has always been a part of civilized societies. Solo dances of the Near East have survived and changed over the centuries, yet the soul of what we now call ‘belly dance’ still thrives. This is an active class where we will explore connections between music and movement, and between movement and emotion. We will see past dancing for entertainment, and explore the mind set of personal expression where the audience is an extension of the dancer’s consciousness. Belly dance skills are helpful, but not required. We will begin with a few stretches and cover a few basic moves. Be prepared to dance with your soul.
Students should have minimal clothing layers and footwear safe for dancing. A Hip Sash is helpful. No corsets, long dress trains, knives or pouches in class. Note taking materials may be useful.
