When winter has fallen upon the lands, the Shire of Harpelestane has its own merry way to remain warm and entertained: dancing.

Come join us on 26 January 2007 for a day of dancing and gaming at the latest gathering of our Dance Moot. Classes on music and dancing will be held, with opportunities to practice both in the evening at a small ball. All musicians are welcome to come along and play. For the non-dancers, there will be a selection of period games to keep everyone entertained.

The site opens at noon and closes at midnight. Dance classes during the afternoon will cover both basics for beginners, and complex choreographies for the more advanced. A simple repast (meat or vegetable stew, bread, cheese and fruit) will be served around 6, to fortify us for further dancing into the evening.

For more details or to make a reservation, kindly contact the event steward, Mistress Caitlin de Courcy, 1f2, 25 Haddington Place, Edinburgh, EH7 4AF, UK, +44 (0)131 557 2397, cait at gaita dot co dot uk.

The cost of the event will be £10 per person.
