Dance Information

"Bruadar" means "A Dream" in Gaelic; it is also the name of a Scottish Liqueur, made from single malt whisky, honey and sloes.
"Bruadar" should be pronounced as "Broo~t~r" in English, with stress on the first syllable, where:
"oo" is pronounced as in "noon"; and
"~" represents the very short, indeterminate, vowel sound.
See Gaelic Dance Names for more information on Gaelic spelling and pronunciation.
