July 27, 2020(1 event) 8:00 pm: (Virtual) Monday Night Class – We'll be using the "Retro Act" of the current performance repertoire to talk about reels of 3, reels of 4, and some strategies for envisioning how to do them when no one else is around. And then for fun, we'll risk set and link for 3 solo style - no one can tell which end of the line you're on, so of course you'll get it right! Check out the performance rep portion of our website for preview directions and videos if you're a prepare-in-advance sort of person. It is recommended that you assemble the following things for class:

August 3, 2020(1 event) 7:30 pm: Dronology: a short potted history of the bagpipes – Following up on the fabulous talk Katie Brady gave last month on the basics of bagpipes, piper extraordinaire Dick Hensold will offer "a short potted history of the bagpipes, as illustrated by several different types of pipe. And a few tunes, if desired. But not too many jokes. Really, not. Unless you make me." Not to be missed! Check email for Zoom link information or email info [at] rscds-twincities.org. Note the 7:30pm start time. Virtual |

August 10, 2020(1 event) 8:00 pm: (Virtual) Monday Night Class – Fer will guide you through a review of the three-couple act of the performance repertoire. This will NOT be just for people who want to perform, nor will it be a Rehearsal. We're using the performance repertoire to generate the dances we'll try to envision as we try to get in a little vaguely Scottish Country Dancing-like movement. If we do get a chance to resume rehearsals or performing at any point, maybe this will serve as a reminder/jump-start. Or maybe those of you who have never performed will satisfy your curiosity about the kind of dances we perform. Once we're done moving, we can talk about what it's like to perform or tell stories about That One Performance, OMG! for the edification/amusement of all. Or maybe we'll all just get sweaty wandering around seemingly aimlessly in our living rooms to some really awesome music. Virtual |

August 17, 2020(1 event) 8:00 pm: Monday Night Special: International Dancing – Fer Horn will pick some dances from her international folkdance repertoire that lend themselves to warming up, cooling down, and some bouncing around to fun music in the middle. Along the way, we'll learn some of the dance moves "vocabulary" that makes up non-Scottish dances the way "skip-change," "pas de basque," and "strathspey setting" make up Scottish Country Dancing. You can try a new style of dancing in a venue where no one other than your cat will judge your "spontaneous hyper-local variations," or I suppose you can hang out with a beer listening to very not-Scottish music while watching me jump around in my dining room. If you've got shoes that let you pivot but not slip on your dancing surface, you might find them useful. And bring a scarf or handkerchief. Morris dancers, you can bring your hankies if you must, but only one! 😉 Check email for Zoom link information or email info [at] rscds-twincities.org. Virtual |

August 24, 2020(1 event) 8:00 pm: (Virtual) Monday Night Class – Fer and Lara will guide you through a review some of our interval dances from the current performance repertoire and of those from the recent past. This will NOT be just for people who want to perform, nor will it be a Rehearsal. We're using the performance repertoire to generate the dances we'll try to envision as we try to get in a little vaguely Scottish Country Dancing-like movement.
