The Music Terpsichore with Elke Baker on fiddle, Liz Donaldson on piano and Ralph Gordon on bass and cello will be playing for our opening Welcome Dance on Friday and for our Capital Ball on Saturday evening. Terpsichore is a well known Scottish country dancing musical group and is highly regarded by Scottish country dancers and musicians alike. Great music and fun are guaranteed! The Teacher We are delighted to have David Queen from Lancashire, England as our invited dance teacher. David comes from a very musical family and started dancing at the age of 5 under the tutelage of both his Mother and Father. His Mother was a piano teacher and his Father a piper and dance teacher who is best known for devising the dance Angus MacLeod. David qualified as a teacher in 1993 and has inspired a love of music and dance in others since then. David has taught regular branch classes in the north of England, workshops around the world, and at RSCDS schools in St. Andrews, Pitlochry, New Zealand, and TAC. He has received invitations to teach in Russia, the USA, Canada, and across Europe. He is a dance devisor and composer of Scottish music and has published his own book of dances as well as providing dances for other publications. His music has been recorded by his band, Scottish Measure, where David plays the fiddle and by other bands as well. David’s “day time job” is a building services engineer where he is able to travel the world. David enjoys promoting good Scottish country dancing technique while ensuring that everyone is having fun! He looks forward to Capital Weekend and seeing many friends again! ! ! !! ! ! ! !! !! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !!
