Class night

At our last committee meeting the idea of putting a crib, with links to videos, for each week’s class on the website was on our agenda.  Arguments for and against were discussed. It was agreed this will run for a trial period following which it will be reviewed. 

It is thought that having a crib available will help dancers to become more familiar with dances.  There is no obligation to look at the dances beforehand, if you don’t wish to.  We understand that some dancers prefer to simply come along to the class without having to prepare first. Others may wish to see what is planned. The dances will be taught and walked as now.  

The programme may vary – some dances dropped, others added, depending upon numbers and who is present on any particular week.

The link to the crib and videos for the class on 19th February.

The following dances, scheduled for 19th February, are on our Spring Fling programme:.

Crossing The Brook; The Sands of Morar; The Badgers’ Sett; The Ladies of Dunse; The City of Belfast and The Miller of Sessnie.

If you want to have the cribs on your phone and the above link is not successful, the mobile crib app is useful, but you have to add the dances yourself.

A further resource for beginners is the Lower Hutt site. It has short YouTube videos of a great many basic figures as well as quite a lot of advanced ones.

There was one picture on 12th February.

Three pictures from 29th January….
