Dance Descriptions:
The Sailor’s Hornpipe:
The Sailor’s Hornpipe is a caricature dance. The movements in this dance portray actions used in the daily work routines of a sailor’s life, such as pulling ropes, climbing the rigging, and looking out to sea. The costume, like a sailor’s uniform, is worn by both male and female dancers.
The Highland Fling:
This is the oldest of the traditional dances of Scotland and is a dance of joy performed at the end of a victorious battle. It was danced over a small round shield, called a Targe, that the warriors carried into battle. Most Targes had a sharp spike of steel projecting from the center so dancers learned early to move with great skill and dexterity.
The Sword Dance:
The Sword Dance was a dance performed prior to battle. To kick the swords was considered a bad omen for the impending battle and the soldier would expect to be wounded. If many of the soldiers kicked their swords the chieftain of the clan would expect to lose the battle.
The Seann Triubhas:
