A Scottish Country Dance Weekend Workshop, March 31-April 2, 2006
On the Grounds of the National Cathedral School, Washington, DC
Teachers
Ron Wallace, California
Ron's love and understanding of Scottish dance and music make him a familiar name on workshop staffs internationally. Scottish Country, Highland, Step and Cape Breton comprise the majority of the classes Ron teaches, with some Welsh and English thrown in for balance!
2006 marks Ron's 38th year as a teacher of Scottish dance. In 1977 Ron received his Full Certificate from Miss Milligan. His infectious, enthusiastic teaching has earned him invitations to many Scottish dance centers. He has taught classes/courses in Australia, Austria, St. Andrews Summer School, TAC Summer School, Pinewoods, Czech Republic, England, Slovak Republic, Poland, Germany, Switzerland, Norway, France and Hungary.
At home in Northern California, Ron is kept busy with weekly classes in dance and bagpiping, and playing descant recorder and pipes in two local Scottish Country Dance Bands "Wild Rose" and "Hood, Wink and Swagger".
