Info about our next class:
On July 12, in the beginner hour, beginners will enjoy:
- Footwork! If you have time to practice one thing at home, make it skip-change and strathspey. The sooner you get this into muscle memory, the easier everything else will be. Here’s a video to help you out: youtube.com/watch?v=iF-QZqMxb20&time_continue=142
- The Yorkshire Rose: https://my.strathspey.org/dd/dance/16761/#videos
- The Highland Rambler: https://my.strathspey.org/dd/dancevideo/201/
In the second hour, intermediate dancers will enjoy:
- The Ullapool Ferry: https://my.strathspey.org/dd/dance/18409/#videos, including the new figure hello-goodbye poussette: https://www.scottish-country-dancing-dictionary.com/hello-goodbye-poussette.html
- City Lights: https://my.strathspey.org/dd/dance/18408/#videos. We may or may not have time to really learn this, so if you want to dance it be sure to watch the video!
In general, experienced dancers will be learning dances for the Dayton ball this summer and fall: https://my.strathspey.org/dd/list/71896/
