MCs may change the order of dances to suit
the level of experience on the evening.
Colour code: Black = for everyone Blue = with an experienced partner Red = experienced dancers only
(or Dem

the second time through). New dancers - we hope you will enjoy watching
the Red dances for our experienced members. ** Popular dances - we learn and repeat these dances regularly so everyone can enjoy them.
*** Feature
dances - when we add a new dance (called a Feature Dance
on the programme) we take a bit more time in walking it through and it stays on the programme for a few weeks so we can learn
it.

General Information about our Dance Evenings
We do around 12 dances
each evening with a tea-break half-way through.
Some dances are highlighted that they are to be danced with an
experienced partner and some are for proficient dancers only. We hope new dancers will enjoy watching
our experienced dancers doing one or two more challenging dances per evening.
The aim is for everyone to enjoy their dancing!
The MC for the evening talks us through the various
parts of the dance while we walk through it.
Any new or inexperienced dancers get a chance to practice during
the walk-through which helps them learn the dance.
Tuition
Each
Thursday there is a tuition session from 7.30pm to 8pm.
Here you can learn the basic steps and moves that will be danced
that evening. Everyone is encouraged to come to the tuition!
Dress
Code & Footwear
Soft-soled shoes are ideal. Kilts and long white dresses with tartan sashes
are not needed! On our special evenings we like to dress up with some Caledonian flourishes.
Masters of Ceremonies (MC)
The Society is very grateful to the following who act
as MCs throughout the year:
Jim Cook, Libby Curzon, David Horwill, Judith Jones, Jenny Kendrick, Suzanne Marley,
Stewart Murray, Lindsey Rousseau, Ruth Taylor and Pat Bagwell.
At their discretion, the MC may rearrange

the success of the dance and enjoyment of all taking part! |
