Sashay newsletter, Vermont, 1953
Creator: Emerson Lang
Sashay was a country dance bulletin published by musician Emerson Lang, of Danville, Vermont. It's clear from the contents that Lang's readers were open to many styles-- mention is made of squares, contras, English country dances, and international folk dances. These issues from 1953 include news about visits from Ed Durlacher, Lawrence Loy, Bob Brundage, and Rickey Holden; meetings of the Vermont Callers' Association; a gathering of "Prompters, Callers, Leaders, Teachers, and Officers of Dance Clubs"; the Annual Workshop on Country Dance, with Ralph Page as a consultant; and lots of news about local events.
