Bassett Street Hounds News
NEFFA
The Hounds had their first performance of the year at NEFFA on Saturday. It was a lovely day, just perfect for dancing. This was also the debut performance for new Hounds dancers, Heather Root and Kate Henson as well as the return to the fold of Fred Henson. Heather and Kate were both experienced dancers; Heather with the short-lived but impressive Renewable Rapper from Ithaca and Kate with Cotswold teams of Bells of the North (Minneapolis) and Three Village Morris (Long Island). Fred danced with the Hounds in the 1990s when we were still a men's team, leaving us to work in the midwest where he danced with Minnesota Traditional Morris and Sword and then with Three Village Morris in Long Island. See photos of the day.
Our roster for the day: Aaron Marcus, Dan Clark, Heather Root, Julie Schult, Karin Howe, Kate Henson, Mike Miller, Pete Schult, Susan Galbraith, Tom Keays. Musicians: Aaron Marcus, Laurel Sharp, Maria Hosmer-Briggs, Peter Hoover.
