Scottish Country Dancing Class @ citymoves
On 29th February our Scottish Country Dancing participants were participants in the Aberdeen and NE of Scotland Music Festival Scottish Country dance section, in the Music Hall.
The results from this even were:
Educational Trust Shield, Secondary Schools Open. 1st
RSCDS cup , Girls secondary Schools. 2nd
Terry Wallace Trophy for age 11-under 16 , 3rd
It was a very tight competition and we were thrilled to win.
On 8th March the same winning team went to the Moray Festival in Elgin. In the 16 and under section we were placed 1st with a distinction certificate. It was a fun day out and the girls got to know one another a lot better. We were asked to be part of a concert of winners on 16th March however I could not raise a team so we did not go. The RSCDS Aberdeen branch funded the travel and entry fee for this event.
This term we are working towards RSCDS Medal Tests.
