As no dancing was allowed in France because of the pandemic, the Méaudre Reel (France) decided to organise a weekly SCD creation workshop to keep its teenagers active. This workshop lasted for 3 months, from February to April 2021. The teenagers were impressive with their creations, so eager to be dancing again. We thus decided to gather all the Méaudre Reel dances and have a book printed: Dancing in Vercors Book1. This dance was created by one of the teenagers’ teams during the weekly SCD creation workshop.
Three girls wanted to create a Strathspey and to start it with a 2 hand turn. ” It is so romantic to dance this simple formation with a nice and handsome partner, looking at him straight in the eyes ! Do you remember in Newcastle when I danced with M…. ? As for me, my best partner ever was in St Andrews, it was a dream dancing a strathspey with A…. “
But then, 2 other girls in the team simply said : yes, that can also be a nightmare when dancing with a poor dancer and not understanding a single word of what he says !! The 2 hand turn may last just too long !
To have an intensive and magical dancing moment, don’t forget to choose a partner with lovely eyes.
