This circle dance/game has been passed down through generations of
African Americans living on the islands off the coasts of South Carolina
and Georgia. The movements include folding “blankets,” choosing
partners, loping like a buzzard, and creating movements that partners
mimic.
Upon a summer's day
This six-person, three-couple longways set dance is similar to those
danced in England in the early 1600s. The dance was still being danced
in the Kentucky mountains in the early 1900s.
