Elaine's News Roundup
Kensington Palace 2010

Apart from the great open air dance last Saturday afternoon in Kensington Gardens London Branch held two very successful Scottish country dance workshops, from 11am-1pm on Saturday 3rd & Sunday 4th July 2010, in the gardens of Kensington Palace as part of the 'Party at the Enchanted Palace' weekend.  This two day event was organised by Historic Royal Palaces in order to reflect the different styles of dance enjoyed by seven of the princesses who lived in Kensington Palace.

The inspiration for the two SCD sessions was Queen Victoria's love of Scottish country dancing.  The workshops were led by James Fairbairn & Elaine Wilde on the Saturday and Angela Young on the Sunday, with invaluable support from members of the demonstration team to the music from Karl Sandeman on Saturday and Liam Stewart & Andy Kain on Sunday.
