The Capital Pianist - Scottish Country Dancing Instruction VideoDance Information
In 2012 I won the privilege of having Liz write a tune for a dance I wrote. I love the tune, but was never totally satisfied with the dance for which it was written.I wrote this dance in hopes it is a better choice for the tune. The title reflects that Liz was born in Washington, D.C. and is her suggestion for a title.
Suggested music is The Milky Way written by Liz Donaldson or 8X32 Strathspeys (Fiona Miller's) from First Stop! by Waverley Station.
