The Selkie - English Country Dance
Ойын-сауық
"The Selkie" (2019), a duple-minor English Country Dance by Jenna Simpson set to the tune "Nasty Nell" by Kathleen Fownes. The recording here is by Nova from their album "Little Sky." PLEASE NOTE - this was the debut of the dance! I am immensely grateful to the brave dancers for allowing themselves to be filmed; any bloopers are entirely my fault as the caller/teacher of this very first time through the dance, and no reflection on the amazing talents of all involved! (Also, I had to add music over the video to cover background noise - if anything seems off, it's because of that! The dancers were in perfect time to the music.)

Wow! This is gorgeous!
Love the flow to this dance; reminds me of a beautiful Selkie swimming
Looks like fun! I love the spin.
Very nice flow, thanks Jenna!!
Occasional missteps is the proper way to dance ECD.
Very nice!. I belong to a group in Kalamazoo Michigan that dances English Country once a month. Is it possible to get the calling directions for this dance?

The Kalamazoo English dance group is planning to work on this dance bit by bit over the upcoming months. The stars outside the minor sets and the poussette merging into a hey will provide a nice challenge and inject some continuity to our monthly dance series. Thanks for the suggestion.
