Dance Scottish Week is an international initiative by the Society in Edinburgh. It will be launched on Sunday 14th September with the London Branch Display Team dancing eight Eightsome reels outside eight famous London landmarks ranging from the likes of the Albert Hall, St Pauls Cathedral, London Eye and Trafalgar Square.
There will also be “Open House” at St Columba’s, Pont Street on Wednesday, 17 September from 6 until 10pm with live music and refreshments. It’s an opportunity to come along to St Columba’s Hall and see all that London Branch (and other SCD Associations) can offer. In the Main Hall there will be a mixture of live music, dancing for all, short demonstrations and displays, with photo display boards, projection screens, information areas as well as food and wine. Information areas to cover Classes, Beginners, Youth and Dem Team – with information about where to find events & classes, leaflets & fliers to take away, and friendly people to answer any questions. In the Upper Hall there will be a mixture of classes with live music, photo display boards, Day School and Dance promo information and chairs to observe various classes. The vestibule will serve as an information area.
This is your chance to get involved – by bringing along friends who may never have tried Scottish Country Dancing, and helping those attending to get on the floor to try their hand at some simple dances. Bring your smiley face and welcome people at the door, take new partners up to dance, and spread the news about where to find classes at all levels. Let us know if you can come and help for all or part of the evening by contacting Jeff Robertson ( JTR@ctg.co.uk ) or just turn up on the 17th and join in the fun.
London Branch will also list on the website details of the many Scottish dancing events in and around the London area. See below for an at a glance guide to the weeks events.
