Dance Information

The title of the dance was chosen to reflect an anticipation of the century ahead for Scottish Country Dancing in Edinburgh and beyond.

It also arose from the deviser's awareness of notable shifts within Edinburgh's dancing community following the return to classes and events after the Covid lockdown, alongside developments in their own circumstances. The choreography was arranged so that each figure moves rapidly into the next, intended to mirror the pace at which these wider changes have taken place.
