Maypole research
This maypole research is growing by the day.
I've realised that it isn't just dance figures, but also the type of pole used, the kind of music, the stepping, the costumes and the places where they are danced.
I'm starting to create a spreadsheet to follow these factors through and to make the patterns show more clearly.
My cousin Patsy who lives in Spain is helping me out with a lot of the Basque stuff.
Is anyone interested in helping?
I'm able to identify the dance figures (though the Brazilians are incredibly inventive and keep coming up with new ones!). Would other people be interested in helping with other aspects? (No prior knowledge needed)
If you are, comment with your email address and you can do as many or as few dances as you like. (I'll give you access to the data)
