Stupendous dance from the Earlsdon chaps in Coventry!
Cathedral Contra Dance
A night out in the city of Coventry:
This year’s IVFDF (Inter-Varsity-Folk-Dance-Festival) was hosted by Warwick University, the venues for which were located in and around the centre of Coventry. I was delighted to discover that an evening contra dance was taking place in the magnificent interior of the modern Coventry Cathedral.
From one end of the cathedral..
to the other..
A vibrant scene.
Contra Dance. Caller: Rhodri Davies, Band: The Night Before.
I felt quite moved to be a part of such a thrilling event, at my local cathedral. I feel to have an affinity with the cathedral itself as the architecture shares many similarities with that of Oakley Wood Crematorium, my childhood home and spiritual woodland playground. The crematorium was designed by an associate within the architectural firm of Sir Basil Spence, the same firm who were responsible for the rebuilding of the cathedral after its destruction in the Coventry Blitz, during World War Two.

IVFDF Coventry
Found one of my old IVFDF tees that still fit! Syked about today!
IVFDF
I'm back, my pretties!
IVFDF was amazing and now my feet really hurt. But it is a good pain! It is the pain caused by too much dancing!
I danced with a man who looked a bit like Tom Hiddleston. And he was wearing a kilt.
There is now nothing more I desire from life.
Like 90% of the people I know are at IVFDF and I'm NOT for the first time in five years I hate this I hate this so much. I miss dancing. I miss the community, I miss the people, I miss the atmosphere. I wish I felt better and I wish I didn't live so far away. This bites.
