Hi guys,
The running order for DERT is up! http://www.dert2015.co.uk/and-at-long-last-the-waiting-is-over-competition-schedules-for-dert-in-bristol-now-published-main-derty-and-traditional/
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: http://youtu.be/Vu3FGbdFDMk
Double stepping: http://youtu.be/FQJ3hWUebbE
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
