The children danced beautifully, and were much loved.
In the first bracket they did a Highland Fling Trio, then Darcy did her Pas de Basques and Highcuts, Connor did the Flora, Ashley did the Blue Bonnets, Darcy did Pas de Basques and Ashley finished the set with the Village Maid. The Village Maid went down a treat, I used Dougies music 'Good Times With The Wilson' which has a beautiful Village Maid track that plays Waltzing Matilda for the last two steps. The audience sang along!
After a yummy dessert we moved along to the second bracket.
Darcy opened the event with the Sword Dance - very good awe aspect to have a tiny girl doing the Gillie Callium over swords bigger than she is! Then Connor did the Seann Triubhas in his tartan jeans, Ashley did the Scotch Measure, Darcy did the Lilt and Connor finished up the night with his funky jazz dance, Still Rock and Roll to me, which had the audience clapping and singing along.
It was a lovely night, and the children received a gift of Tunnock Tea Cakes each as a thank you. (they went down very well!)
We do love dancing at events such as these. It is important to instill in the dancers the value of community.
