Scottish Dancing in and around Frankfurt, for everyone
This year we had applied successfully for the fourth time for a demonstration slot at the Frankfurt Museumsuferfest_ (Museum Embankment Festival). We have danced again on the Frankfurter Bühne - this year a bit later than usually (from 2.40pm to 14.55pm). Like last year three »firsts« were put on stage this year (and one we experienced behind the stage ...)
Once again the summer workshop in Vollmerz near Schlüchtern enticed a few Frankfurt amd Darmstadt dancers to the Kuckucksnest: Verena, Eva S. and Tobias took part in the dancing-class with Eric Finlay. Anselm (piano) participated in the musician's workshop with Keith Smith in the lead once again, just as Silke G. and Stefan Sch. as the other pianists. They took turns to accompany the dancing-class in the morning. The weather provided a real challenge for almost everybody — it was impossible to dance or make music without being dripping wet within a few minutes except early every morning ...
As last year we have had another free »crash course« under the auspices of the Frankfurt SCD teacher programme in the Haus der Jugend, Frankfurt from 15 p.m. to 19 p.m.
The fourth Frankfurt Spring Ball in the Volkshaus Enkheim in Frankfurt took place on a sunny day - 80 people from as far as Paris and Hamburg came to attend the event.
Where is Beerfelden actually? When the question came last year, the first thing we did was to look up the name in the atlas. Beerfelden is quite a way from frankfurt, however despite a long journey through snow and ice, we had a pleasent evening.
Despite the truly unpleasant wintry weather conditions about 45 dancers from near and far came together to dance and meet each other in the »Haus der Jugend« in Frankfurt. Anselm Lingnau taught dances fitting the motto »Dances to Songtunes«, explained the dances and the texts of the songs to which we danced.
Our traditional non-dancing afternoon for dancers, friends and families (without dancing!) was on Sunday, 13 December 2009, and started 3 p.m.
in the community centre St. Dionysius (»Gemeindehaus der Katholischen
Kirchengemeinde St. Dionysius«) in Frankfurt-Sindlingen, Huthmacherstr. 21.
On 22 November we again offered an afternoon for advanced dancers only with Fugues and Celtic Brooch in the Großer Saal in the Haus der Jugend, Frankfurt.
For the third time in as many years we took part in the varied final event of the Frankfurt Intercultural Weeks which again let us be part of a diverse cultural assortment of culinary and performance delights and offered a few opportunities to join in (dancing, singing and clapping).
