SECOND ANNUAL SCA DANCE WORKSHOP

                            January 28, 2006
The Shire of Cathanar invites you to a day of dancing, both traditional 
Medieval Country Dance and Middle Eastern Dance.

The Workshop will be held at the Hispanic Center in New Bern, NC, beginning 
at 10 AM and running until 5 PM. Instruction will be tailored to the skill 
level of the participants, so don't be shy if you've never done this before. 
If you're an old hand at it, not only can we use your experience to help 
others along, but we also plan to include more advanced dances in the 
afternoon session.

Cathanar will provide a light lunch and refreshments during the Workshop. 
Please bring your own Feast gear or disposable tableware.  (In order that we 
may have a sufficient amount of food on hand, please email 
lindenheim at cox.net and let us know you're coming.)

There is no charge, but donations to defray our expenses will be greatly 
appreciated.

Medieval Country Dancing

throughout North America and in twelve European countries. A graduate of UC 
Berkeley (1978, Music), he has created and directed music and dance shows 
for Renaissance Faires; has performed on a couple dozen commerical 
recordings; and has created music for several films. He is best known in 
local dance circles for his series of historical dance events at Tryon 
Palace, from 1998 through 2000. He served as the Living History Programs 
Manager at Tryon Palace from 1998 to 2003. In the SCA, he was Master of 
Music for the Kingdom of the West from roughly 1977-1979, Master of Sciences 
for the Principality of the Mists during about the same period, and has 
presented various workshops on historical dance, games, and other subjects.

the Middle-East and Central Asia for 14 years and teaching for 10. She has

techniques including Zills, Veil, Cane, and Sword as well as ethnic styles 
such as Tunisian, Egyptian, Turkish, Gypsy and American Tribal. She has 
taught in Bellefonte, PA, Toledo, OH, Salt Lake City, UT and currently holds
