A Winter Meeting - Scottish Country Dancing Instruction VideoDance Information
This dance was devised for the SCD group in Lueneburg, northern Germany.Learning Irene Townshend's dance 'A Summer Meeting' proved challenging, with the recurring excuse being: "It's not possible to learn a dance called Summer Meeting in January!" Thus, 'A Winter Meeting' was conceived to eliminate excuses.
It follows the same basic pattern as 'A Summer Meeting' (turn, reel, Bourrel, Poussette) with alterations to involve the 3rd couple more in the figures.
Lüneburg (Lueneburg, and also known in English as Lunenburg), is a town in the German state of Lower Saxony in northwestern Germany.
Lüneburg was first mentioned in medieval records in a deed signed on 13 August, 956 AD, in which Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor granted "the tax from Lüneburg to the monastery built there in honour of Saint Michael".
