Prancing around


There's plenty to do up this way this weekend as the Castlemaine State Festival is in full swing. Going to the supermarket today, I passed amongst the 'Pavilions of Pandemonium'. I especially liked the So you think you can prance? tent.


Inside, a well-dressed quartet played, and folk learnt how to bow with a flourish and do courtly dances circa Louise XIV, sometimes to classical versions of modern tunes. The dance instructors were also dressed to the nines with wigs, big-buttoned jackets, stockings and and wide skirts. Everyone was having a ball.
