Scottish Country Dance Ball

Sat, 11 Mar 2006 23:59:59 -800

Today was the annual ball
and workshop of the Portland chapter of the Royal Scottish Country
Dance Society. Like last year, both events were held at the Masonic Friendship
Center at NE 56th and Sandy Blvd; this year, I signed up for the advanced class.
The morning half of the class was taught by Maureen Lyon from British Columbia;
the afternoon was taught by Sarah Harriman of Austin, TX. I learned quite a few
new dances, and (I think) I've actually finally figured out how to pas de basque.
Maybe.
