Dancehall Players Choreography Project
We invite choreographers to write dances to go with tunes from all three of our Out of The Silence albums, original dance music composed during the pandemic. We are delighted to host a growing library of new dances here!
The last few years have led not only to a burst of tune writing activity, but also down the road of nostalgia and reflection. So we have expanded the concept of “New Dances” to include earlier dances written for our music. Each of our dance albums has a few original tunes, and Fresh From Dan’s Hall was our first compilation of original music by The Dancehall Players.
Dances are organized alphabetically by tune name. Click the dance title for a PDF of dance instructions that you can save or print, and click the TUNE title for a link to a recording of the tune that the dance was written to accompany.
To find dances organized by the album their tune appeared on,
