Yorkshire Dales (3) Music and Dancing
Some pictures and videos from last weekend
Dance workshop led by Katinka Kundler and Petter Johansson with Jon Holmén (fiddle) in the foreground
Trying out a Rättvik polska
Rapt attention from a couple of participants
The workshop leaders perform...
Willow Flutes
... are traditional Scandinavian instruments made by soaking willow branches on water. The pith and bark are then separated to leave a tube from which a very simple flute is made. They're very perishable so nowadays people make them out of plastic pipe (Wikipedia article)
