How to dance like a hobbit – Samwise and Rosie at Bilbo’s birthday

How to dance like a hobbit – Samwise and Rosie at Bilbo’s birthday

When my husband and I were out exploring breweries one evening, he was mistook for Samwise Gamgee, or the actor Sean Austin.  So for the Renaissance festival this year I made Hobbit outfits. We danced to the live orchestra at the gates to the Renaissance festival as we went in. It was then that I thought it would be fun to write a hobbit dance how to

This is the Hobbit dance how to….

Basic Rhythm:

The rhythm is Quick, Quick, Slow, or 1&2,

Dance position:

Leaders are positioned in front of the followers slightly offset to the left, Leaders place their right hand on the followers left shoulder blade, and follower’s left hand follows the line of the leader’s right arm. Leaders gently clasp the follower’s right hand with their left hand at eye level.

Leaders:
Skip to the Left (Triple step – left, right, left.)

Skip to the Right (Triple step – right, left, right.)

Followers:

Skip to the Right (Triple step – right, left, right.)

Skip to the Left (Triple step – left, right, left.)

The basic step can be danced in line facing one another, or rotating to the right.
