Remember a few years ago when the RSCDS promoted a Day of Dance Around
the World?
Looks like we've got one shaping up here, what with the AGM in Perth and
already three scheduled Balls in the U.S. on November 3rd. Any more
November 3rd events? If you don't have one planned - could you throw
something together at short notice??

Kingston ON Branch is holding their annual Weekend Workshop that weekend.
Nov.3 will be their annual ball, with Bobby Brown & the Scottish Accent
playing.  For other details, see their website at

WOW!!! Do we have an opportunity to suggest an optional dance for each
program to consider including at this late date?  Or devise one, with a name
like 'Circling The World' or 'Dance Around The World' or 'We Are The World'?
Devised by an ethnically diverse group, with plenty of symbolic 'hyphens'.
Which dance figure best typifies a hyphen?  A new figure?  Or could the name
be all lower case and scrunched together....?

hyphen = set in line

and a title called

World united?
or
From Scotia with love?

Those of you that are familiar with the Scots.in.France website, will know
there's already a dance called "Scots around the World" devised when the
RSDCS suggested a world-dance day.

Nice dance, I might use it some time, but a little complicated drop in at
the last moment.

Balance in line.  Or perhaps balance in line for 2 people (a la Jubilee
Jig).

	How about the one who has slipped on the polished floor and is lying 
flat on his back.  See how one valiantly shoulders the blame? :)

Brilliant!  Maybe a room-long balance in line with breaks between line of
the set?

Okay, I'll raise the stakes with the Tucson Celtic Festival, Friday
and Saturday Nov. 2 & 3.
Though we're not holding a ball,. there will be dancing and workshops at the Festival...

Yes,

    Stamford SCDC (Lincolnshire, UK) will be holding a dance on Nov. 3rd.
Any chance we can all do one dance the same.

    In looking through the list I came across a few many un-suitable titles,
but how about "Anniversary Reel", Book 36 or "The Music Will Tell You", Book
41

Why not make it a two-couple round-the-room dance, and have the whole room 
balance in line in a great circle as part of the dance?

I'll be dancing with New Scotland that weekend in Ayr Youth Hostel as
they have their annual weekend away to terrify (sorry, encourage) some
freshers into joining.

Rebecca,
On Nov 3rd the dancers of Far North Queensland will be doing a display of
SCD for the residents of one of our local homes for the aged. Not a 'Ball'
but we will be there dancing our little feet off!!
