Celebration At Higham - Scottish Country Dancing Instruction VideoDance Information
This strathspey, Celebration At Higham, was devised at Higham Hall in Cumbria, by Robert Smith with help from Geoff Entwistle, Lorna Harmsworth, Diane Rooney, and Ron and Shauna Currie in 2016.The dance was named to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the 3-day New Year dancing holiday for experienced dancers, in December 2016, held each year at Higham.
Higham Hall, Bassenthwaite Lake, Cockermouth, Scotland, was built in 1828 by the railway pioneer Thomas Hoskins, in order that he could view the railway which used to run along the route now followed by the A66.
Higham is currently an independent Educational Trust run independently as a centre of learning for adults, hosting, among others, Scottish Country Dance groups.
