Burns' Night is now upon us

Two more dance classes are now under our belt and numbers are very gradually increasing - it was especially good to welcome back dancers this week who had been ill/injured prior to, or during, the Christmas break - we're a tough lot - and it's just as well!
First, a call out to the Monday class who tackled 'Trip to Timber Ridge'  with it's 'double triangles', and 'corner pass & turns'. These were two completely new formations for most of the class and,  even for those who'd done them before, it's been a while since they'd tackled them.
It was an excellent class and everyone really did well to grasp such a lot in such a short time. We only covered 2 dances - but with the brains boiling over that was enough!
On Tuesday we did manage to cover most of the programme but with relatively few dancers it didn't give anyone much rest.  Next week I've included a few more familiar, or at least less challenging dances, so our more experienced dancers might get the chance to rest - if they want to of course. 
In the meantime it's BURNS NIGHT this Saturday. Let's take advantage of the cooler time of year - it's a chance to dress up and feel special; I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in their kilts & posh togs. The dress code is probably closer to 'cocktail' than 'ball gown', but wear whatever makes you feel special, it's an 'over the top' evening - after all - Burns enjoyed the high life himself for all he celebrated the lives of the workers! For those who are joining us, doors open 6.30pm and it's a prompt 7pm start - if you aren't in your seats by then you might get mown down by a manic Haggis trying to escape the wailing of the piper... just saying!​
