Celebrating Early Wellington Dances

Come and celebrate the centenary of the RSCDS at an afternoon of Early Wellington Dances organised by the Wellington Region. From 1.00pm-4.00pm, at St John’s Anglican Church Hall in Johnsonville. Cost: $10. Suitable for intermediate dancers and above. Four longstanding tutors from the Wellington Region—Iain Boyd, Romaine Butterfield, Edith Campbell and Elaine Laidlaw—will teach dances chosen from the early days of Scottish Country Dancing in the lower North Island, based around Morison’s Bush Collection and The Harbour City Collection. The Cranberry Tarts, Aileen Logie and Hilary Ferral, will provide music from the original tunes and arrangements used by Peter Elmes for both books.
