The Dance Challenge Week Four
Let’s dance!
In this community-driven challenge, we will be playing dance music. So, choose a piece from any time period, location, or culture that is set to a dance rhythm. Whether it be an Italian Saltarello, an Argentinian Tango, or something in between, let’s get our toes tapping and our fingers dancing across the guitar strings.
This challenge will last four weeks, until Saturday, June 7th. A new thread will be posted each week.
Week Three brought us music from Lauro, Aguado, Rodrigo, and De Visee. Hopefully this last week will bring more people and composers out.
If there are any beginners looking for suggested pieces, please feel free to ask the community.

Aguado - Waltzes 7 and 8 from Opus 8
Here are the last two pieces from this opus of dances.
-
Eric Phillips These Aguado waltzes are very charming, Eric, especially #7. You perform them beautifully. #7 has a gentle dramatic elegance (if that makes any sense) with a stately 'B' section, while #8 is much more playful. Excellent!
-
Eric Phillips Like many of the pieces in these recent challenges I hadn't heard these before. Really lovely little waltzes, beautifully played, thanks Eric!

Lauro - Triptico (June 1)
Here is my first recording of the entire set of three pieces in one take from memory. Still lots of work to be done, but I hope to get it close to a performance level by the end of the challenge this week.
End of the Year Challenge: Finish Strong!
