Dance Information
"Alba" is the Gaelic name for "Scotland". In Gaelic, it should be pronounced as "Al~p~" in English with stress on the first syllable and with the convention that "~" represents the very short, indeterminate, vowel sound. However, in this mixed English/Gaelic title, it is acceptable to pronounce "Alba" as though it were English.See Gaelic Dance Names for more information on Gaelic spelling and pronunciation.
