Ceilidh Dance newsletter – 2012\/13 #9 –
\nnext Ceilidh Dance – Friday, November 30, 2012<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>WHERE IS IT?<\/p>\n

I am continuing to include these pictures of Scotland that I have been sent without any note as to where they are. Last week’s picture brought absolutely no responses so I don’t know if that means no one reads the newsletter or you are all too lazy to respond or no one knew the answer. You can look back at last week’s and most prior newsletters by going to our website at www.vancouverceilidh.org. <\/a> maybe this week’s picture above will be easier?<\/p>\n

It looks like a rainy fall which, of course, we are used to in this part of Canada.\u00a0\u00a0 The temperature has dipped and snow is forecast for Whistler and the local mountains.\u00a0\u00a0 It has been a nice sunny afternoon and I should have been outside but I am too comfy and warm here in front of my compuer.\u00a0\u00a0 As well as this newsletter, I write a weekly serial story for some of my grandchildren.\u00a0\u00a0 The origins of the story goes back quite a few years when I started telling them to two grandchildren who are now too old for bed time stories.\u00a0\u00a0 The characters in the stoies are 4 baby dinosaurs called Sandy, Mandy, Candy and Andy and tells about all the antics they get up to.\u00a0 It does stretch my imagination and I hope those of the 6 and 4 year old recipients to whom I started re-telling (well re making up) the tales to this summer when they were here from London.\u00a0\u00a0 Writing it down takes much more time and thought and I have to try and watch my grammar and spelling!!<\/p>\n

The Ceilidh Dance last Friday had a good attendance including quite a few who were here for a wedding which was held at the Centre yesterday.\u00a0\u00a0 Brendan & Claire have been coming to the Ceilidh Dances for some time and were keen to have some Ceilidh Dancing at their wedding and had asked if I would come and call dances for them.\u00a0\u00a0 Not surprisingly the bride and groom left after the first break and many of the other guests left soon after but we still had a good number to have a fun evening.\u00a0\u00a0 I hope everyone had a good time and that you will all help spread the word and bring more friends to future Ceilidh Dances.<\/p>\n

Because I was at the wedding I could not attend the Gleneagles Fall Dance.\u00a0\u00a0 I have not heard from anyone else who was there but I am sure it was a very enjoyable evening and am certain there would have been a great spread of goodies at the intermission.<\/p>\n

The wedding was great fun.\u00a0\u00a0 After dinner the bride & groom, now married of course, along with their parents and another couple performed a special wedding ceilidh dance complete with glasses of whisky.\u00a0 After the cake cutting, a towering cake that they cut by swinging a sword horizontally through it so the top could be caught by a group holding a tablecloth – must be an Irish custom, the bride was Irish – the Halifax Wharf Rats took centre stage but, surprisingly they did not get too many dancers to come up as they are a good band.\u00a0\u00a0 In their breaks I taught some ceilidh dances.\u00a0\u00a0 In fact in the three sets they did 7 dances including some encores.\u00a0\u00a0 Naturally the floor was full for these dances – you know me I don’t let too many people sit out!!\u00a0\u00a0 They all seemed to have fun and I was able to promote the upcoming Ceilidh Dances.<\/p>\n

If anyone has any suggestions or complaints regarding the newsletter please let me know – ceilidh@rscdsvancouver.org <\/a>==============================================================<\/p>\n

\n<\/a>I am already looking forward to our holiday next May and I booked our flights this week. \u00a0 Fortunately I was able to use the points we have accumulated on our credit card although I still had something to pay. \u00a0 Still it was not too bad when you thing there is the return transatlantic flights as well as 4 other flights. \u00a0 It is the taxes that really adds to the bill although our card allows the use of points against the taxes as well. \u00a0 May, 2013 might seem a long way off but at the rate the days fly past it will be here before I know it and I am not trying to rush things.<\/p>\n

I am trying, maybe you have noticed, to keep the pictures in their correct season – e.g. the pictures this week were all taken in the fall or autumn months.\u00a0\u00a0 That does not include the one that I do not know where it is. \u00a0 Of course that is not always possible such as when I want to include a specific picture or someone has requested a picture.<\/p>\n

We will soon be into the St. Andrew’s season and the Demonstration Team has a number of bookings in November.\u00a0\u00a0 But first they will be dancing next Saturday, October 27, at Marpole Days which is being hosted jointly by the Scottish Cultural Centre and, by their neighbours across the lane, the Taiwanese Cultural Centre.\u00a0\u00a0 The event will take place at the Scottish Cultural Centre, 8886 Hudson Street starting at 11 a.m. and will feature many forms of dance from ballroom, to ballet, to Taiwanese and of course Scottish.\u00a0 The Demonstration Team will dance at 11:30 and the Inverglen Scottish Dancers will perform twice during the day.\u00a0\u00a0 The event, which is FREE!, will also feature different national foods.\u00a0\u00a0 Plan to come along and join in the fun.<\/p>\n

The Bairns’ Ball is the next day, Sunday, October 27. \u00a0 The dance which is hosted by the Stave Falls Dancers is held in the Pitt Meadows Heritage Hall, 12414 Harris Road, Pitt Meadows from 2 \u2014 4:30 p.m.\u00a0\u00a0 Everyone welcome, refreshments will be served, come and encourage the children and have a fun afternoon to boot!!\u00a0\u00a0 Adults $7; non dancing children $3 while all children registered in a Scottish Country Dance class are FREE.\u00a0\u00a0 Information 604-462-9935<\/p>\n

Note that the organizers of the annual St. Andrew’s Ball in Vancouver have reluctantly decided not to convene the Ball this year.\u00a0 They write: This decision has been met with a great deal of disappointment from many people.\u00a0\u00a0 Our hope is that the Ball will continue next year and for many years to come. We need some help in making this happen. We need to pass the torch.\u00a0 We would appreciate hearing from anyone who is interested in bringing renewed energy, new ideas and contributing their time and\/or talents to the planning and execution of next year\u2019s event.<\/strong> Contact information is <\/em>heatherrisk@shaw.ca\u00a0\u00a0 <\/a><\/span>604 738 9224\u00a0 3106 West 23rd Avenue Vancouver, B.C. V6L 1P6. \u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

I really hope someone “picks up the torch” and gets this fun event back on the rails. \u00a0 The current committee have worked very hard over many years and they deserve a great deal of praise.<\/p>\n

The next Ceilidh Dance is not until Friday, November 30, 2012 – that is the last Friday of the month<\/strong>!\u00a0\u00a0 You have therefore lots of time to spread the word<\/strong> about all the Ceilidh Dances as that is the best (and cheapest) form of advertising. Here is a link where you can watch a short video of a Ceilidh Dance: <\/strong>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0MvUwZnY9Ms<\/a><\/p>\n

The format for all of the regular monthly Ceilidh Dances will be the same with the class from 7 \u2014 8 p.m. and the dance from 8 \u2014 11 p.m. and all dances will be walked and talked through. The price is only – $10 or $8 for students which, for what you get is a super bargain \u2014 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\u2019t forget to bring a few extra $$$$ to help defray the cost of the refreshments which are otherwise free.<\/p>\n

Many classes have a policy that the first night is FREE! Plan to come along to try out a class next week. There are classes all around and on different nights so<\/p>\n

\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>For those who don\u2019t know SCD is a fabulous pastime which 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 get the basics learnt 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 also are Branches in Victoria and Seattle). There are a great many classes and the ones in the Vancouver area are listed below. Come along \u2014 check us out \u2014 the first night is usually free and thereafter it will average about $6 a night and that\u2019s 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!!<\/p>\n

Check the list of classes at either at www.vancouverceilidh.org<\/a> or www.rscdsvancouver.org<\/a>. Note that the latter website has the latest updates to temporary changes to times and locations<\/p>\n

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

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n

The next regular<\/strong> monthly Ceilidh Dance<\/strong> will be held on Friday, November 30, 2012 <\/strong><\/span>in the Scottish Cultural Centre, 8886 Hudson Street, (73rd<\/sup> & Hudson which is between Oak & Granville), Vancouver, We need everyone to help us get as many new comers (as well as former Ceilidh Dancers) as possible to come and join us.<\/p>\n

We Really NEED YOUR HELP to advertise the Ceilidh Dances!!!!<\/strong> What a nice way to work off all the Thanksgiving Dinners! It really is good exercise as the ladies from Children’s Hospital found out in September. They thought it was way better than Yoga and said they will tell all their colleagues at the hospital to come to the next dance AND to bring their other friends, spouses, partners, etc. It only costs $10 – it is worth so much more in fun, exercise and camaraderie. Use any access to free adverts etc. You can also use things like the Youtube link https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Bh2HV3OPBgw<\/a> or the Face-book page https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/p.php?i=116203315&k=Z5C5Y4TZPT6G6BD1PKZZTWQQQ6BAW26L34AV&oid=164741310207760<\/a> Suggestions to improve our advertising are always welcome. Don’t forget to tell them about the website www.vancouverceilidh.org<\/a> and get them to “subscribe” to the newsletter<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/a>The cost is still the amazingly low price of $10 or $8 for students and we provide refreshments although we do ask for your donations towards their cost. We always need your support both by coming along and by helping us to advertise these dances by whatever means you use to communicate with your friends be it e-mail, Face-Book, Twitter, Text or even telephone! Most of you have been to at least one Ceilidh Dance so you know how it goes. You don\u2019t need a partner; you don\u2019t need any experience; you should wear FLAT soft soled shoes; we walk, talk, and call every dance and you should come to have fun and have a good evening on exercise and entertainment and maybe even to learn!<\/p>\n

There is a FREE class from 7 \u2014 8 p.m. and the dance from 8 \u2014 11 p.m. with music by Calanais. Remember to bring some extra cash so you can make a donation towards the cost of the refreshments. Without these donations we will have to increase the price of admission again!!<\/p>\n

The schedule for the 2012\/13 season shapes up as follows:<\/strong>
\nAll on Fridays of course —<\/p>\n

Please<\/strong> do your best to assist us in letting as many people know as possible.<\/strong> Use Face-book, e-mail, telephone or even word of mouth and tell everyone you know what a fun night it is. We need to attract students from UBC, SFU and all the other colleges and universities. Somehow we have to get word out to these students. Please do all you can to help us. Come one, come all to the same place (Scottish Cultural Centre, 8886 Hudson Street, Vancouver) and the same time (7 p.m. for the class and 8 – 11 p.m. for the dance) and the same amazing price ($10 or $8 for students.)
\n<\/a>You should check the website – www.vancouverceilidh.org<\/a><\/strong> – from time to time as you can find various pages listing “Ceilidhs and Events;” Classes:” Duncan’s List;” etc. On these pages you can check all the upcoming events, where all the classes are located, times, etc. and some places to find Scottish things or some local trades, etc. I will continue to highlight the more current events in each week’s newsletter but, as stated, the calendar of all events will be available on the website. You should also have a look at the Vancouver Branch website from time to time – www.rscdsvancouver.org<\/a> – as there is always useful information on it and it is a very good looking site.<\/p>\n
