Scottish dancers perform at Aged Care

The Gosford Scottish Country Dancers' demo team performed at the Woy Woy Aged Care Centre on Wednesday, May 8.

The dancers were Fran Bucello, Simone Gerada, Eileen McCleery, Barry and Janice Toussard, Richard Graylin, Sandra Hanson and Eileen Patterson who made her demo debut.

"The ladies presented beautifully in their navy skirts and white tops or kilts for those dancing as men," said Ms Robyn Graylin whose husband Richard was dancing.

"Catherine Bonner, class teacher, was in charge of the music and kept up a lively patter.

"The dance program was varied and covered reels, jigs and a slower-paced strathspey.

"Dances performed were the Barmkin, Postcode, Rakes of Glasgow and Come to the Ceilidh and completed in style with a beautifully danced Maire's Wedding.

"The audience clapped along to some of the livelier music and seemed to thoroughly enjoy the display.

"At the conclusion of the demonstration, the dancers were treated to a nicely presented morning tea in the sunroom.

"Scottish country dancing is a great way to keep fit, have fun and make new friends," said Ms Graylin.

Classes are held each Wednesday evening at the Church of Christ Hall in Wyoming, from7pm.

Attendance at the first class is free, cost is $5 thereafter.
