St Andrews Day Christmas Party

Image
Monday night saw Ashley, Connor and Darcy (and I) traveling across Sydney to Turramurra Masonic Hall for their charity christmas night, in honour of St Andrews Day. 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.

Happy 100th Birthday Hilda!

What I particularily love about teaching Scottish Highland Dancing is the link it has with people of all ages. On Sunday 3 dancers performed at a very special gig. It was the 100th birthday of a lady named Hilda. It was a surprise party, they had a piper and dancers perform for her. Hilda loved it, and was very emotional. She particularily loved it when Ceilidh danced the Flora MacDonalds Fancy, as Hilda is a descendant of Flora MacDonald. Darcy, at just turned 6, went over very well, as a crowd always love to see little ones perform. And of course - a boy in a kilt doing a sword dance is always a great hit too - so Connor lapped up that attention! I will be receiving photos in the next few days and will post some up here then. It was a very special day and Hilda seemed to have a fantastic 100th birthday!

Av's Daydream this week!

So this week, during the ST Averil had another daydream! We have decided she is an adult version of Clarice Bean!! This week, whilst dancing 'step at a time' Averil was ready to start her side travel step, and she raced in to do her shake and almost slipped onto her backside. She said later that she was imagining she was at a track and field event and the starter gun went off so she had to race in fast to catch up!! Oh Av!! You delight us with your mad mad imaginings!!! :D
