The Inter Varsity Folk Dancing Festival

A Dancer's Heaven

This was probably the most consecutive dancing I have done in only three days. The festival (www.ivfdf2007.org) was in Edinburgh and Melissa (Michigan) and I stayed on the hard floor of a church for the weekend. At the festival, there were 40 workshops, 6 live band dances at night, and no breaks. We did a little bit of everything: polish, hiphop, charleston, collegiate shag, ceroc, salsa, french, lindy hop, and of course, scottish ceilidh dancing. It was an amazing experience to say the least!

The Picnic
Melissa and I, after a long bus ride, camped out in the bag storage room of the dance hall and enjoyed a picnic of bread, bananas, and cheese. yum!

Celidh animal??
Many ppl had these weird big stuffed animals that I think were ceilidh mascots or something. No idea

During the workshops, a short break!
we're so cute, our first break of the day!

Scottish Jammin'
I borrowed Andrew's flute and the four of us played reels and jigs (only 3am). A bunch of UK hippies

The English Boys
Melissa and I made friends, very tall friends, from England. Their names (from the left) are Andrew, James, and Paul

Exhausted!
Waiting for the bus from Edinburgh to Aberdeen. What a weekend! we seriously couldn't move.
