Expressive Dance celebrates Clan gathering 2023

By Crystal Scott

Expressive Dance with Crystal’s Highland dancers and families celebrated their 8th annual Clan Gathering on Saturday,

Mar. 4. Crystal invited her Highland dance students from Dance Images/Brandon School of Dance and their families to join in as well. T he event was held at the Minnedosa Ukrainian Hall and was attended by 29 Highland dancers and over 100 family members.

The afternoon started off with a showcase of traditional Highland dances,

Nationals dances from the lowlands of Scotland, Jigs, Hornpipes and choreographies. There was an intermission snack midway through the dancing. The dancers who participated in the November 2022 dance exams were then presented with their Highland Medals Test Awards.

The event continued with a fabulous potluck supper. Followed by family games (egg n spoon race, 3-legged race, wheel barrel race, tug-o-war, “balance the Haggis”, etc). The evening continued with an opportunity to get the families up to try a few old-time pattern dances like Road to the Isle,

Heel Toe Polka, Seven Step, Four Horseman Schottische, Waltz, Two-step and a few other tunes. A great addition to the evening was the local musicians; Cary Clarke, Clark McNabb and Fred Scott who played the tunes for the dancers and their families to dance to. Thanks to all those who helped out in any way to make this a memorable funfilled family event.
