Dance Information
The collection, Queen Of The Dance (15 dances, without music), was devised by members of the Hamilton Branch and dedicated to the memory of June Shore.The title of this reel is an affectionate allusion to June's height (under 5 foot (60cms) tall).
June was a dancer, RSCDS teacher (examined by Miss Milligan herself), and founding member of the Teachers' Association Of Canada (TAC) for Scottish Country Dancing.
