My friend Michel Monfroy sent me this picture of his Scottish Dance Demo Team who performed at a Christmas 2018 dance festival in Annecy, beside a French lake near Geneva. Dancing is international. Michel is the handsome guy with a beard - he looks a bit like me, it seems. I believe all our RSCDS dance groups should do more dance and ceilidh demonstrations, choosing in places where children and families can see us. I danced last night in a delightful ceilidh with the Scotia Dancers of New York. My grand daughter will be born this coming weekend. I shall dance for her!
Argyle weekend in Washington, DC November 9 - 11, 2018, Robin Poulton and friends danced 15 hours of Scottish and Contra in Alexandria and Glen Echo, MD. Robin explains how he keeps fit and healthy at the age of 70.
I Dance Therefore I Am
I Dance Therefore I Am is the title of Robin's popular book about dancing and about keeping fit: keeping physically fit, mentally fit, and emotionally fit. His book is funny, filled with dry British humor and amusing stories.
His book visits many types of dances: American contra, English country, African, Irish, German, French, Scandinavian, Flamenco, Salsa, Ballet, Waltzing, Hip Hop and Moonwalking, Morris, Medieval, Renaissance, and especially Scottish Country dancing, which is his great passion. We meet dozens of beautiful and talented women with whom he dances.
Robin explains to his grandchildren the importance of dancing, which is their cultureal inheritance from their ancestors. Dancing is part of his philosophy of life to produce the greatest happiness for the greatest number. His describes lot of interesting dances for his grandchildren to try, promoting laughter for healthy living, and a joy of beautiful live music, which is the spiritual essence of happy and healthy living.
