    Performance Repertoire Preview Social


    June 5, 2023

    Come and enjoy an evening of social dancing. The program just happens to be our new performance repertoire.  You don't need to be planning to perform with the branch to come, but this is a great opportunity to get a sneak peek at the dances we'll be rehearsing starting in July.

    Note that dances will be in a different order than they appear in the repertoire and will be danced as originally written (not with special performance endings).

    Tournée + Performance Skills


    June 19, 2023

    Join Chandi for a class embracing the social aspects of Scottish Country dancing, some of which lend themselves to good performing! We'll also take a bit of time to refresh ourselves in the tournée which is in the interval dance for the performance repertoire this year.

    Silent Night

    Silent Night


    June 26, 2023

    Social dancing should certainly include some chit chat, but shouting directions during the dance is rarely as effective as people think it will be and makes it harder to hear the music and compliments from your partner. Janet will teach a class focused on strategies for giving help without words -- a great skill to practice as we get ready to start performance rep rehearsals. The dances will be fairly easy and accessible to all.
