Scottish dancers tuned in online for the 35th annual Dinner Dance with theme Scottish Legends Dessert Dance to enjoy energetic dancing music played live by Cynthia Soohoo - piano and Nathaniel Soohoo-Hui - fiddle. In case you missed it or would like to watch the May 22, 2021 dance, we can view the recording.
The 35th Dinner Dance originally scheduled for 2020 had been postponed because of the COVID-19 lockdown. The 2021 online version was hosted instead, without dinner but with dancers supplying their own dessert.
Lin Pettengill and Rebecca Mintz expertly briefed the dances. Liza & Tom Halpenny and Susan & John Shaw formed a 2-couple dancing pod to walk thru the dances. Dance chair and emcee Susan Shaw presented a history of authentic and mythological Scottish legends, and led the intermission discussion of desserts and recipes that dancers shared.
Many thanks to folks for their efforts to put on the Dessert Dance to conclude the online dancing season that included the Betwixt and Between ceilidh and Déjà Vu Dance. Liza Halpenny had taught the dessert dances in the April and May Social Dancing classes. Ken Heinemann co-hosted the online meeting and once again assisted the musicians to produce good-quality sound over Zoom.
