Dancing has started again after the Summer break. Dancing with young people (even with very young people) is not only important, but lovely to do. My book (below) argues that dance teachers should commit to teaching children as well as adults, or they should not receive RSCDS certificates
because we are killing the dance culture that we love if we do not teach our kids. My children Edward and Catherine (shown on the book cover) dance very well. So should all our children.
This book is full of wisdom and dancing, stories and laughter: the perfect gift for your friends.
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.
