RSCDS – New book for 2019
This year, rather than publishing a book of new dances, the RSCDS is publishing a book called 30 Popular Dances and accompanying CDs. This new book will include a mixture of traditional and non-traditional dances, all selected by branches for popularity in their area.
The book and CDs will be available at the RSCDS Annual Gathering (AGM) in November. Prices have been announced and the book is £12. There are two CDs – a new recording by James Coutts Scottish Dance Band at £14.30 and a second CD from archive recordings of various bands at £10.
The club wil be coordinating orders through the BHS Border Branch. Please contact Duncan Barnet through the club email sascdo1@gmail.com or at classes before Friday 18 October.
