Recent events
Gleneagles Fall Tea Dance
Approximately 45 dancers joined us at the Gleneagles Fall Tea Dance on November 20th. The afternoon dance, which was held in the Peak Room of the new Lions Gate Community Center, was filled with good dancing, fellowship, and fabulous food. It was a particularly special event for Gleneagles - this was our first tea dance in 3 years.
A great big thank you to those who helped make the afternoon special. Alison Moen did a wonderful job selecting the dances and acting as dance MC. The program included 2 dances devised by Simon Scott - 'Father to Son' and the 'Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch'. Brenda Anderson and her team did a great job of organizing the venue, selling tickets and preparing the after dance food. Kerry McDevitt took some memorable pictures. A special thank you to the new dancers who braved this event - Rachel from the Lonsdale Dance Scottish class and Desiree and Brenda from Gleneagles.
