    October 6, 2020

    Cape Breton step dancing is a traditional percussive form of Scottish step dancing as preserved by Scottish immigrants to Canada.  In this class, Lara will introduce the basic reel-time step with a few simple variations.  If possible, hard-soled shoes or anything that will make a little noise on the floor, but you can learn even with sneakers.

    We're not used to moving our hips much as Scottish country dancers, so get ready to discover some muscles you may have forgotten you have! Branch member and guest instructor Katrina Dam will give us a short introduction to tradition of bellydance.  Katrina says:  Bellydancing is for all ages and all genders!  Wear loose, comfortable clothing and if possible, find a scarf or sash (tartan optional) to tie around your hips.

    Tonight we'll be experimenting with devising a dance as a group using selected formations.  We'll use it as an opportunity to talk about how dances are constructed, what makes them work, and what makes them fun...and hopefully have some fun.  We'll also review Fàilte Ball dances on request as time permits.
