Dance Information

Devised in March 2014, this dance is suggestive of a pleasant stroll on what was once known as the Balcony of Europe overlooking the River Elbe and located quite close to where the Dresden Scottish Country Dancers meet.

It is a simple dance with plenty of time to concentrate on elegant movement and maintaining eye contact.

Recommended music: "Miss Barbara Cunningham" by Robert Mackintosh recorded as: "In Campbell Country" on "Vintage Goldring" by Muriel Johnstone and Keith Smith.
