I invited my friends and family, students and other teachers along with their students and we had Egyptian music blasting out over the promenade and beach at Portobello, Edinburgh for the afternoon.
Here's the family....
and a fellow Scottish dancer who now lives in Egypt too, Sarannah....
and of course the lovely Eleanor Keen (also now a Cairo inhabitant!) came up North to join us in some fun..... In this photo we are demonstrating Stacey's 'clubby book pose'. Some fabulous fife dancers are relaxing on the wall behind us enjoying the sunshine....
some of the top Scottsh dancers were there;
Elspeth who brought along some of her students and lead a few dances....
...... Natalie....
... and Dawn.... to name but a few....
oh and the Tribal girls turned up too.............
and the girls, Isla and Mara, I used to dance with in the African dance group Afridonia way back when i first started to dance also joined in the fun with their kids too.....
It was fabulous fun and the sun even came out to join us for most of it! It was such a luxury to be able to wear costume in public and dance outside without a single rude or sexual comment. Lots of smiles and lots of people joining in and enjoying the day. How dance is supposed to be. Friendly and fun!
and then- just in case you were thinking this couldn't have been Scotland..... it doesn't get much more Scottish than this, the dinner...... reduced and everything!!!!..............
