Dancing Scottish with a famous Ballerina

Diane Cavero is a star of the Martha Graham Ballet Company in New York, and she has just returned to her family in Europe. A qualified Graham Teacher, a choreographer and Renaissance dance and sword-fighting specialist, Diane came to discover Scottish Dance with us in Brittany. Naturally, she picked up the steps at once. She hears the music so perfectly! If Diane came to St Andrews, she would be in the Demonstration Team after one week: in 2020 perhaps. It is a joy to dance with such talent. After all, I Dance Therefore I Am, and so does Diane Cavero.

I share with you a piece of wisdom that applies to peace negotiations, to BREXIT and Boris Johnson, to problems such as racism, bullying, sexism, sexual harassment, the Middle East..... especially the Middle East: one can imagine so many possible ways to insult people with this quotation!

George Bernard Shaw said: "I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a PIG. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it."
