A 32 bar Reel for couples in a large circle around the room, facing in, à la ‘Lucky Seven’ or ‘Circassian Circle’. Tributes to Andy Murray come in all shapes and sizes - cakes, flowers, and now a dance. Dancers at Linlithgow Scotch Hop were the first to enjoy a new Scottish dance ‘The Pride of Dunblane’ written to celebrate his achievements in becoming Britain’s first Wimbledon men’s singles champion for 77 years.
I have followed Andy Murray’s career since his Wimbledon debut, and I have always been impressed by his dedication and talent as he worked his way into the top four. This year at Wimbledon he looked like he could finally go all the way, so when John contacted me on the day of the semi-finals to suggest writing a dance the ideas started flowing. I tried to create a simple dance which everyone could enjoy so that Andy’s achievements could be celebrated at ceilidhs up and down the country.
The dance is written to fit the Wimbledon theme tune and includes movements inspired by Andy’s Wimbledon journey, including Centre Court, retrieving a drop shot and the ever-present towel.
