St Vincent Ferrer School Residency, May 2006
We led a two week residency at St Vincent Ferrer School in Cincinnati in May 2006. The residency focused on traditional dance. We worked with a core group of sixth graders, teaching squaredance, with third graders who learned a longsword dance, and with the rest of the school doing Maypole dances and square dances.
