In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Melbourne and District Branch of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society, a special event is being organised to showcase the vibrant dance community in this lively city. This event is not to be missed by anyone interested in experiencing the rich tradition of Scottish country dance.
To mark this momentous occasion, the members of the Melbourne and District Branch have crafted thirty-one unique dances, which can be found in the recently released book 'A Melbourne Miscellany'. This carefully compiled book not only features the dances themselves but also includes musical notations for original tunes composed by talented local artists. With this, the dance community hopes to foster a stronger connection to Melbourne's Scottish dance heritage.
If you're interested in obtaining a copy of 'A Melbourne Miscellany', you're in luck! The book will be available for purchase starting from Sunday, July 7, 2019. Each copy is priced at $10, and there are even discounted rates for bulk purchases, making it accessible to all dance enthusiasts. By supporting this initiative, you'll be a part of preserving and promoting the cultural significance of Scottish country dance in Melbourne.
To further enhance the experience, the Melbourne and District Branch encourages dancers to utilise the tunes composed by local artists whenever live music is available. This not only creates an authentic atmosphere but also strengthens the bond within the local dance community.
So, mark your calendars and join in the festivities! Immerse yourself in the captivating world of Scottish country dance and be a part of history as we celebrate the impressive 50-year journey of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society – Melbourne and District Branch. Don't miss out on this chance to connect with fellow dancers, discover incredible talent, and have a wonderful time—Scottish style!
