Exciting! So I will definitely be in Bristol dert weekend cheering with my folks so if you
need a 6th in westerhope in the afternoon I'm happy to slot in. Would be great to meet
up a bit beforehand to have a few practices somewhere first if so though as I won't be
there on Tuesday next week. I should be around from about lunchtime on Saturday and can
meet anywhere central ish. Just let me know. My number is 07779 476180. Go ravens! xx

Hi guys,
The running order for DERT is up!
http://www.dert2015.co.uk/and-at-long-last-the-waiting-is-over-competition-…
We're on second to last at 17.18 (or there abouts...). The DERT team's last dance
is at 15.50, so we shouldn't have a clash or need to rush over before we've
finished cheering them on. Thrales are dancing at 16.30 and 17.06.
Have a lovely Easter weekend and I'll see you on Tuesday,
Sinéad
P.s. Don't forget to bring your t-shirt (and ideas for the neckerchiefs) so we can
check that we match before DERT.

Hello,
Stepping videos, I hope they might help. My stepping isn't perfect- when you're
practising focus on what Ffion tells us about keeping our feet close to our bodies,
staying on the spot, posture, and most importantly staying in time to the music!
Westerhope stepping:

Double stepping:

The music I used was Sammy's fancy which I think is a tad slower than we normally
dance Jubilee (when we're on our game), and Viking Jig (or preview here) which is the
speed I'd like to aim for.
I hope you've been practising your jumps
See you on Monday,
Sinéad

Hi everyone,
I saw Warwick Rapper at IVFDF this weekend, they performed 'Chain' and so I
wanted to share some videos. Firstly, chain as danced by Frayed Knot in Westerhope:
Frayed Knot Rapper—Westerhope.mov - I'd like to have less stepping, but they make it
look straightforward. Secondly, this figure from Warwick's 3b: Warwick Rapper at DERT
2014, just to show it can be done.
See you later,
Sinéad
