Wo ist eigentlich Beerfelden? Dafür mussten wir erst mal den Atlas herausholen, als letztes Jahr die Anfrage kam. Von Frankfurt ist es ein gutes Stück weg, aber wir haben — trotz langer Fahrt durch Schnee und Eis — einen sehr netten Abend verbracht.

20. September 2009: Highland-Tanzen am Nachmittag

Posted by fscdc · 22 September 2009 16:40:31

Due to popular demand there was once more a special afternoon on Sunday. Anselm taught Highland dancing. Eleven of us met from 15pm to 19pm in the »Kleiner Saal« of the Haus der Jugend (Frankfurt youth hostel) and worked on simple steps and dances. No prior knowledge was required, but most participants had a certain familiarity with Scottish country dancing. The event was free. Like in the famous annual highland-workshop the week-end after Easter in the Kuckucksnest Anselm taught the advanced dancers and the beginners alternatingly (every 15 minutes one group learned and practiced a certain amount of the respective dance, time to rest and practice for those not taught while the other group worked).
