Coming Real Soon Now _ Drewry Night. And I have had enough. I taught three dances from the program, then onto two dances from the K&G tea dance - one of them a real stinker!
Ranadan-ce - (32 R 3) - Drewry
Bob Campbell - (32 S 3) - Drewry
Major Ian Stewart - (32 J 3) - Bk 35 (Drewry)
Miss Janet Laing's Strathspey - (32 S 4) - Bk 22 (Cramb)
Trip to Timber Ridge - (32 R 3) - Bk 52 (L. Henderson)

Ramadan-ce:- It is (almost) all about the recorded music. It is so much fun! I like John's solution to the timing on bars 13-16 - there isn't enough time to turn RH twice around and too much time to turn only once. So, essentially, he says "figure it out". Me, I like to birl and go three, or even four, times round. Recommended, but not every week!
Bob Campbell:- It is a Drewry dance. Not one of his best but approachable by most. Faint praise?
Major Ian Stewart:- It has now become a standard. What I like is the rewards that good dancers get. It doable by fair dancers, it shines for good dancers - they get the eye contact and partnership rewards.
Miss Janet Laing's Strathspey:- H#@y Cow! What superb dancers-teachers can come up with boggles the mind! The opening 16 bars are nice - the following circles are nightmares! The standard of dancing required verges on the professional. Sloppy? Forget it! Impeccable? Maybe!
Trip to Timber Ridge:- Glorious!
