Burns Night - Westchester 2019

It has been almost a full year since I have posted. Time to fix that.

The program was simple, and some dances were there only because the music has a Burns connection.

We danced the following:-

The Loch Ness Monster  -  (32 R 1circle)  -  Iain Boyd
Sky Top Jig  -  (32 J 2/3L)  -  Houghton
Gay Gordons Two Step (ceilidh)
The Lea Rig  -  (32 S 2)  -  Bk 21/5

Driving Through Eutaw  -  (32 J 3)  -  D. Leary
A Mans A Mam for a' That  -  (32 S 3)  -  Bk 30/5
The Nut  -  (24 J 2)  -  Bk 1/4
Trip to Timber Ridge  -  (32 R 3)  -  Henderson

The Lea Rig - the wonderful traditional music. It was time to resurrect the dance. It was overdone 30 years ago but the newer dancers have never heard of it.

Driving Through Eutaw:- was written to Ye Banks and Braes (Burns CD by Marian Anderson)
and it is a good dance, with a twist.

A Man's a Man for a' That:- a traditional Burns? - The dance is less than stellar, the music is classic!
