Jeremy & Darcie's Reception & Dance

Oh, wait.  I didn’t see myself in the photo – I retract that statement!

Thumbs up for a fellow thumb-sucker!

Bon appetite!

Two thumbs-up for thumb suckers!

Strip the Willow–Scottish Ball

Scottish–October 21, 2011

  Well, the CHEFMO Civil War is this Saturday, so we’re busy dusting off of dancin’ shoes!

  Here are both groups from October 21’s Scottish dance.  I was hand holding the camera so the footage is a bit scattered, but it saved me a lot of time in editing.

The Scottish

   The Scottish is another dance we did last Friday night.  This is a very fast, exhausting, long, twirling, polka-ing dance that also happens to be a lot of fun.  I haven’t really learned it yet, but I went ahead and tried it in the second dance.  The group was too big to have everyone polkaing [oh, that’s actually a word?  Spell Check doesn’t have a problem with it.], so we were split in half and did the dance twice.

First Dance

 

Second Dance

 

  Note: One of my cameras died towards the end of the second dance.
