2 Sword Dance
3 Sean Truibhas
4 Half Tulloch (Reel)
5 Flora MacDonalds Fancy
6 Scottish Lilt

HIGHLAND FLING

SWORD DANCE







SEAN TRUIBHAS



This is  a different version of the sean truibhas.

The difference is that the dancer does one circle on the right foot, then instead of doing a circle on the left foot she starts doing Pas De Basques??

After that she does a whole lot of stuff that I don't understand., so I need to clear this up with my dancing teacher at my lesson today.

HALF TULLOCH (REEL)



FLORA MACDONALD



SCOTTISH LILT

A new dancing outfit: Aboyne

I was very lucky to get a new dancing outfit today for dancing the Lilt and Flora. Its called the Aboyne. I will post a photo of it shortly. It has and underskirt and a scalloped waistcoat and a plaid and tartan matching skirt that is not a kilt. My sister and I will be dancing in a competition on Saturday, so we are going to be practicing a bit extra.

We also have our exams coming up and of course Paris later in the year. We have already paid our deposit for the accomodation so now we need to start fund raising. We have some ideas of some crafty things to make but need to find time between schooling and ponies to fit it in and time is just rushing by...

Here is a bit about Aboyne:
