Tutor’s Notes
We continued working on dances for our Annual Dance on Monday and I was really impressed with how well our new dancers coped with a lot of unfamiliar things.

We started off easily enough with Joie de Vivre (J) then moved on to trickier things being:

Trip to Timber Ridge (R) – this has corner pass and turn and a variation on double triangles. The music is fabulous.

Sugar Candie (S) – repeated from last week but working on the transition from turn corners and partner to the reel with corners, left shoulder to 1st corner.

Best Set in the Hall (J) – a popular but directionally challenging dance, remember the centre people cast to the corner behind them.

Oriel Strathspey (S) – we are really familiar with this one now

Pelorus Jack (J) – with dolphin reels, alternating tandem ½ reels of three (quite a mouthful to say)

We will look to repeat some of the more challenging dances on the programme next week.
