Due to developments over the past few days and new recommendations from the public health department, we have been forced to cancel the scottish dance evening and all other Hors les murs events scheduled for this week. We thank all the artists who led or would have led the various activities.

Participants who had reserved spots for upcoming activities will be contacted by email and will be able to have their deposit refunded.

Jennifer Stephenson leads an introductory workshop on Scottish dance at this event, and then invites you onto the dance floor to move to the rhythms of the group Solstice.

Dancer Jennifer Stephenson will introduce you to the rhythms of Scotland through various types of Scottish dance, while Solstice will set the dance floor on fire, letting you dance to your heart’s content… guided by dancers, as needed!

Two performances will take place during the evening; the first at 7:00 p.m. and the second at 8:45 p.m.
