Anyway, I had a rollicking good time at the Inter-Varsity Folk Dance Festival (IFVDF, pronounce it 'iff-diff') last weekend. I stewarded in exchange for a slightly cheaper ticket and a purple haggis t-shirt, but mainly I wore myself out watching & participating in everything from swing to irish step dance (which brings back 8th grade memories...)
Some pictures:
Remco, Amber, & Bryony at the 'Dem' ceilidh, w/ performances by lots of the visiting groups, some traditional,
and some not so much.
Can I please be this morris troup (Gog Magog Molly) when I grow up?
Sadly I have no pictures of the New Scotland dem (these are the people I dance with) - they did a medley to songs from the Sound of Music, complete with lederhosen, nun costumes, and the following lyrics to 'Do a deer' as they executed their flawless pas-de-basques:
DO a deer, I need a beer
RAY - the man who buys me beer!
ME - the one I buy beer for
FA - a long way to the bar
SO, I think I'll have a beer
LA - la la la la la laaaa
TEA - No thanks, I'll have a beer...
um. yes.
That night was a series of social dances in Teviot (one of our FOUR student unions) with swing upstairs:
and contra (yes!!) downstairs:
