Gillian and …
Devised for Gillian Collis by Patricia Hamilton with contributions from the Wembley and District Scottish Association dance class.
Gillian and her husband Peter are the longest serving members of the Association having joined in 1961. Gillian has been President twice, Honorary Secretary and, since the early 1980s the teacher of the dance class. Gillian is passionate about good cover and eye contact with your partner while dancing, and parallel reels were included in this dance for this very purpose. Gillian is a wonderful ambassador for the Association and signs her name GEM Collis, hence the title of this dance - Wembley’s Gem.
