В продолжение предыдущего поста выкладываю видео и схему того самого кейли - День Святого Патрика.



СхемаThis is a dance for four couples in Double Jig time done to the tune of the same name. The first part of the tune consists of 8 bars, and the second (which includes a repeat of the first) of 14 bars. So that the different movements of the dance may fit in correctly with the music it is necessary to play the first part three times after the dance commences; from then оn the music is played as usual – each part being played twice.
The formation is the same as for the Eight-hand Reel.

(1) and (2) are 1st and 2nd Tops respectively, and (3) and (4) are 1st and 2nd Sides.
Lead Round
Couples take inside hands, make a half turn to right and, with Promenade Step, dance round anti-clockwise, keeping an equal distance between the dancers. оn the eight bar dancers release hands and reverse (8 bars). Partners again take inside hands and dance back in opposite direction, turning into original places оn the last two bars (8 bars).
16 bars

While gents dance two „threes“, ladies of 1st Tops and 2nd Tops change places with ladies of 1st Sides and 2nd Sides respectively, passing left shoulder to left (2 bars).
14 bars
(c) Sides
A is now repeated in the new places.

16 bars
Note: It will be noticed that the Figures always commence оn the last eight bars of the repeat of the long part of the tune (which is similar to the first part of the tune). The Body thus always begins оn the repeat of the first part.

Каждый год после Львовского феша проходит мастер-класс по какому-нибудь интересному танцу. Например, в прошлом году давали схему 16-рукого рила и полную версию традсета St. Patrick’s Day.
На Патрика мы с девочками не попали, у нас был поезд, а вот рил выучили. Теперь сертификатик за участие в МК гордо стоит у меня на полочке.
Фоточки с прошлого года.





В этом году тоже решили дать Патрика, только не того, который традсет бегиннерский, а того, который кейли. Минимальный набор на МК 8 человек, максимальный – 16.
Теперь вот думаю: а на какое время Лена взяла нам билеты? Может, удастся поучаствовать… Потому что танец интересный и тренер, дающая МК, просто замечательная!

16-рукий рил. Рил на шестнадцать человек. Почти год назад после Львовского феша проводили мастер-класс по нему. Я помню, как по дороге на феш простыла в поезде (Укрзалізниця турбується про вас!), а потом прыгала стопитсот танцев с дичайшим насморком. А на следующий день с таким же насморком потопала на МК. Ну че, выучили... Потом даже в поезде с девочками пытались вспоминать)
На память об МК осталась схемка кейли, незабываемые впечатления от пятичасовой тренировки с заложенным носом и сертификат от организации "Ирландские танцы в Украине" о том, что я теперь умею танцевать 16-рукий рил. Ах, да еще и разминка от Иллюши! Планки, тысячи их...

Лимерик - это тот танец, который с вертушкой. Наверное, самая популярная "кейля" в наших кругах. Ни одного праздника не проходит без того, чтоб мы не танцевали Лимерик. Самый длинный пока что "коридор" у нас был пар на 12.
Я не знаю, если честно, как мы поместились тогда в нашем-то зале, где двум интермедам тесно.


Схема под катом.
тыкать и узретьThe Walls of Limerick is the simplest of all dances from the point of view of execution. At starting, the dancers line-up in couples, lady оn gemtleman’s right, each set of two couples facing each other. It is danced to reel–time, and consists of four movements, as follows.
1. Advance and Retire
This is and essential feature in the majority of ‘long dances’. Gentleman takes partner’s left hand in his right, both advance to meet the opposite couple (2 bars), retire to the place (2 bars). Repeat the movement.
2. Half Right and Left
Ladies exchange places by side-stepping across the left, passing each other face to face, and finishing with two short threes (4 bars); gentlemen now exchange places, but side-step to the right (4 bars).
3. Dance with Opposite
Each gentleman and opposite lady take right hands, both sidestep to gentleman’s left, finishing with two short threes (4 bars); sidestep back, finishing with two short threes (4 bars).
4. Dance Around
Gentleman takes own partner’s hands, both dance a complete circle around opposite couple (8 bars), finishing up to face in the opposite direction.
Repeat the movements with the next couple and with each succeeding couple until the music ceases. In the manner each couple progresses оn the completion of the set of moments with the result that the couples dancing opposite each other are constantly varying.

Когда-то давно, когда я еще плохо запоминала названия кейли, я давала им "кодовые имена". Стены Лимерика - танец с вертушкой. Осада Энниса - танец с "гребенкой". Бонфайр - "вот тот самый, такой длинный и красивый". Харвесттайм джига - "кейли-лайт". А Фейри рил у меня был "танец с ромбиками")))
