“Last year my husband & I were lucky enough to be in a pub in Harris, Scotland when a c\u00e8ilidh started. \u00a0The participants were so full of life and having so much fun, it was a joy to watch. The experienced dancers were very encouraging and asked us to join in on a couple of the easier dances. \u00a0We had an absolute blast.<\/p>\n
When we heard that there was a Scottish Country Dancing group in Lower Hutt who were taking on some newbies, we jumped at the chance to give it a go with the hope of learning something new and to have fun. \u00a0We haven\u2019t been disappointed. The group is a mixture of ages and stages, all learning together, and with good humoured Damon and his band of supportive experienced dancers, we are kept on track.<\/p>\n
At the end of a session I come away with endorphins flowing and face cheeks hurting from all the laughing. \u00a0The great thing is we are all in the same situation and are all learning as we go, adding a few more steps or moves each week. \u00a0Sometimes it works out well and sometimes it doesn\u2019t however it doesn\u2019t matter, we are still using muscles (body & brain!) we didn\u2019t know existed and having lots of fun.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s got to be good for you\u2026.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
