Yes it is Ceilidh dance week – the dance is on Friday which is October 27.  Hopefully the word has spread and many more will come this Friday.  You can come in your Halloween costume if you like – if many of you do then we will have prizes.  We need a big crowd so get on your phones and tell all your friends and folk you have never talked to.  Tell them what fun the Ceilidh dances are and what a bargain too.  You can all help with promotion.  Groups of 8 or more have until Wednesday (23rd) to contact me if they want a discount.

If you are a bit wary come to the Ceilidh dance on Friday, October 27 at 7 p.m. in the Scottish Cultural Centre, 8886 Hudson Street, Vancouver.  What is a Ceilidh dance?  It is informal, easy Scottish Country dancing in a relaxed style for all ages.  We teach everything, no experience or partner required just a desire to have fun an ability to move to wonderful beat of the lively music and to enjoy the company of other like-minded folk.  But, it is not for the faint of heart for there is exercise both of body and mind!

I can’t believe it is Halloween next Tuesday.  The White Rock class is having their party this Wednesday so my wife is busy with ideas.  That is the easy part, now we need to put some effort in making these ideas come to fruition.

I guess I should be careful what I wish for.  In the last newsletter I said I was waiting for storms.  Well they came or at least the rain did as we did not get very much wind.  The Cedars dropped (they did not fall!) and I filled all 4 of my large green recycling bins mainly with cedar leaves.  It was thick on the ground.  There is lots more to come as well as the deciduous trees and the neighbours ones which always blow to wards our garden.  I managed to get out on Friday and again today dodging the showers.

It is time to remind you of the Ceilidh dates for this season and in particular the next one on Friday October 27 with the usual class at 7 and the dance following from 8 – 11 pm. No change in the price this year but that is dependant on great attendance at every dance so mark your calendars now and tell all your friends to do the same.  We need 80+ to break even so with only 60 coming to the September dance – you can do the math.  It is a team, we need you all to help.  Tell your friends etc. about the dances – we can do it.

The other dates for this season are:-

  • October 27
  • November 24
  • January 12
  • February 23
  • March 30
  • April 27

The dances are all held at the Scottish Cultural Centre, 8886 Hudson Street, Vancouver (73rd and Hudson which is between Granville and Oak Streets). They are all held on Friday evenings and where possible the last Friday of each month – the exceptions are December (as we never schedule one) and January. Calanais have been practising and are raring to play for us again and Alison and I are rested and ready so all we need is you! Hope to see you on October 27.

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, “I’ll give you $800 to drop that towel.”

After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 dollars and leaves.

The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, “Who was that?”

“It was Bob the next-door neighbor,” she replies.

“Great!” the husband says, “Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?”

The next Ceilidh Dance is this Friday, October 27, 2017. That will be the second one for the season and the sixth one of 2017.

   The virgin!!!

In a tiny village on the Irish coast lived an old lady, a virgin and very proud of it. Sensing that her final days were rapidly approaching, and desiring to make sure everything was in proper order when she dies, she went to the town’s undertaker (who also happened to be the local postal clerk) to make proper “final” arrangements.

As a last wish, she informed the undertaker that she wanted the following inscription engraved on her tombstone: “BORN A VIRGIN, LIVED AS A VIRGIN, DIED A VIRGIN” Not long after, the old maid died peacefully.

A few days after the funeral, as the undertaker–postal clerk went to prepare the tombstone that the lady had requested, it became quite apparent that the tombstone that she had selected was much too small for the wording that she had chosen. He thought long and hard about how he could fulfill the old maid’s final request, considering the very limited space available on the small piece of stone. For days, he agonized over the dilemma. But finally, his experience as a postal worker allowed him to come up with what he thought was the appropriate solution to the problem.

The virgin’s tombstone was finally completed and duly engraved, and it read as follows:

“RETURNED UNOPENED “

You still have time to spread the word about all the Ceilidh Dances as that is the best (and cheapest) form of advertising. It is great exercise and fun, for all ages, too. Here is a link where you can watch a short video of a Ceilidh Dance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MvUwZnY9Ms and here is a link to the Facebook advert: https://www.facebook.com/events/597360563665264/597360566998597/ The format for all of the regular monthly Ceilidh Dances will be the same with the class from 7 – 8 p.m. and the dance from 8 – 11 p.m. and all dances will be walked and talked through.

They are all held at the Scottish Cultural Centre, 8886 Hudson Street, Vancouver. The price is only – $12 or $10 for students which, for what you get is a super bargain – everyone is welcome. No partner is required and you should wear FLAT, comfy shoes and loose clothing. Children are also welcome but should be prepared to dance with other people as some of the dances require a change of partner. Don’t forget to bring a few extra $$$$ to help defray the cost of the refreshments which are otherwise free.

Scottish Country Dance (SCD) classes are nearing the start of another season so plan to join a local class or one that suits your schedule. Check out the class locations and come along – see the “Classes” tab.

Dance - blue

Come to a class – You will be made very welcome. Many classes have a policy that the first night is FREE! Plan to come along to try out a class in September. There are classes all around and on different nights so GIVE IT A GO! Go to either www.rscdsvancouver.org or www,vancouverceilidh.org for a list of class locations and times.St patrick's Day Dancers

For those who don’t know SCD is a fabulous pastime (much better and lots more fun than golf!!) and is super exercise for body and mind. SCD is, naturally, rooted in Scotland but there are groups in almost every country so you can learn here and then dance with other groups when you vacation or travel. SCD is not to be confused with Highland Dancing which is more solo dancing. SCD is usually done with a partner in groups or sets however you do not need to come with a partner. It is more akin to Square Dancing.

 

It takes a year or two of classes, workshops, etc. to learn the basics then you can hone your skills in advanced classes. You start by learning the steps and formations. Dances (of which there are over 13,000) are made up of these formations so a good grounding will give you the ability to learn a new dance fairly quickly. SCD has its HQ in Scotland and is known as the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society (RSCDS) and there is a Vancouver Branch of the RSCDS under which there are many clubs throughout the Province (there is also a Branch in Seattle).

There are a great many classes and the ones in the Vancouver area are listed on the website. Come along – check us out – the first night is usually free and thereafter it will average about $6 a night and that’s for a 2 hour class! You will find many friendly people who will be eager to help you and welcome you to their club. You never know you actually might like it!! Check the list of classes at either at www.vancouverceilidh.org or www.rscdsvancouver.org. Note that the latter website has the latest updates to temporary changes to times and locations.

=============================================

as well there are classes all up and down Vancouver Island, a number of the Gulf Islands, the Cariboo, Okanagan, Sunshine Coast, etc. etc. and there are various groups all over this great Province, Country, World and who knows where else!
