A Fine Vintage is an enterprise of the Australian Colonial and Folk Dancers, led by Anthony and Lisa Simon. The repertoire of A Fine Vintage is based on dances taught to them by Peter Vohralik who learned them during a period in America.
These images shown here are from the debut performance of the Vintage repertoire during the 2005 National Folk Festival.

NOTEs: There is background music for some of these pages, representative of the music we danced to.
The midi files are different arrangements of the tunes used for the dances and may help you to appreciate the style of dance.
These pages are closer to being complete. I now have several hundred photos of the two performances.
Many thanks to Barbara Ford, Joanne Mitchell, Margaret Winnett, Lawrie Brown, Mike Young, Peter Lawrie for permission to use their photographs.
